Formation
Diopside is a calcium magnesium silicate mineral (CaMgSi₂O₆), part of the pyroxene group. It typically forms in metamorphic rocks such as marble and skarn, as well as in certain igneous rocks like peridotite. Its coloration ranges from light to deep green, often influenced by trace elements like chromium or iron. The polished points are shaped from rough crystals, then cut, ground, and polished to enhance the stone’s natural luster and vibrant color.

Care
Clean with a soft cloth or mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive products to preserve the polish. Store carefully to prevent scratches and chipping.
