CHROME DIOPSIDE 3 MM ROUND CUT OUTSTANDING GREEN COLOR ALL NATURAL Diopside is most famous for its attractive forest-green color, but depending on the impurities and coloring agents Diopside gemstones can actually occur in a variety of different colors, including common black to near-black, rare violet-blue and light yellowish-green to medium dark-green. With chrome diopside, it is common for color to steadily darken as the size of the stone increases. In many cases, larger stones can be so dark that they can appear to be near black. Unfortunately, in order to achieve the most desirable color, this typically results in faceted stones being under 2 carats in weight. Any faceted stone over 2 carats with a rich medium-dark green color is considered to be very rare. There are no known official treatments or enhancements for chrome diopside. It is only one of the few types of gems that remains completely untreated throughout production.
