History & Lore:
The name Diopside is
derived from the Greek word 'di' meaning two, and 'opsis', meaning vision.
Chrome Diopside's popularity rose in 1988 when material surfaced in Europe.
Dealers raved about its green color that resembled that of Tsavorite and Chrome
Tourmaline at a fraction of the cost. Since then, Chrome Diopside has been
granted class one export status among Russia's mineral resources, a ranking that
includes Diamond, Emerald, and Alexandrite.
Diopside is believed to be a creative stone, increasing creative
visualization and helping to manifest desired goals. It has also been said that
it can improve the wearer's intellect, particularly with regards to mathematical
and analytical abilities. In addition to this, Diopside is believed to alleviate
aggression and stubbornness, and is said to be related to love, commitment, and
the inner heart.
Physically, Diopside is believed to heal the heart, lungs, and the
circulatory system. It is also believed to aid with psychological disorders and
weaknesses.
Chrome Diopside is mined in a remote area in Eastern Siberia known as Inagli,
which is in the state of Sakha.
