Product Detail:
The common color of diopside is blue-green to yellow-green, brown, yellow, purple, colorless to white. Luster for glass luster. If chromium is present in diopside, the mineral has a green tinge, so diopside gems are often confused with other gems such as yellow-green olivine, (green) tourmaline, and chrysoberite, which of course depend on other physical differences between the minerals to distinguish them. Some diopside may also have cat's eye; Such gems, such as quartz, beryl, chlorite, etc., if they are refined into an appropriate convex surface, there will be a linear light gathering place in the center of the surface, forming a bright white band, so the whole gem looks like the eyes of a cat, so it is called the cat's eye. Many minerals may appear the phenomenon of the cat's eye, the cause of the phenomenon of the cat's eye is that contain many of these minerals in parallel acicular or tubular inclusions, when there is a convex circle the gem its with these line inclusions at the bottom of the planar parallel, these inclusions will light reflection and gathered in the dome of the gem, the bright zone, forming a cat's eye. If we're lucky, some diopside stones have two perpendicular cat's eyes -- a cross star! They say the star Color diopside is the birthstone of the fourth of July.Name | natural diopsidel |
