Diopside has a beautiful rich green color and an amazingly low price. It is the
most affordable gemstone with a pure rich green color.

The chrome Diopside is most
available in small sizes: in the rare large sizes, the color becomes so rich it
is too dark. But for bright green accent stones, chrome Diopside is ideal.
However, it is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5, so it is a better choice
for earrings or a pendant than for a ring which will receive a lot of
wear.
