Natural Chrome Diopside – Affordable Green Gemstones

What is Chrome Diopside?

Chrome Diopside is a vibrant green variety of the mineral diopside, colored by trace amounts of chromium. Known for its rich, forest-green hues, this gemstone offers an affordable alternative to emerald, tsavorite, and green tourmaline — especially for those who love bold color without the higher price tag.

Why Choose Chrome Diopside?

Although it has a softer hardness (5.5–6 on the Mohs scale), Chrome Diopside’s intense saturation and vivid brilliance make it a popular choice for earrings, pendants, and pieces with protective settings. Its natural, untreated beauty makes it appealing to collectors and jewelry lovers alike.

Availability and Cuts

Most Chrome Diopside gems range between 1 and 2 carats, often cut in classic shapes such as ovals, rounds, or emerald cuts. While stones above 5 ct are rare, they are highly sought-after for their depth of color and impressive presence in custom designs.

Looking for a Unique Green Gem?

Chrome Diopside offers a fresh take on green gemstones. Whether you're creating a bespoke piece or adding to your gem collection, it’s a stunning and budget-friendly choice.
