Diopside (Brazil)

A piece of raw diopside from Brazil. Diopside, a calcium magnesium silicate mineral, is known for its rich green to blackish-green hues. It forms in metamorphic rocks like skarns or igneous rocks such as kimberlites, commonly alongside minerals like garnet or wollastonite. Diopside’s use dates back to ancient cultures, where it was valued for ornamental objects and, in some cases, as a minor gemstone in trade.   

It comes with a display stand, as pictured, and a small card featuring the mineral's name, origin and its chemical formula.

This is genuine geological sample. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
