Round Faceted Chrome Diopside

Chrome Diopside is an affordable, untreated alternative to Emerald, offering a rich green color at a fraction of the cost. Its vivid hue originates from the same chemical elements — chromium or vanadium — responsible for Emerald's signature color, and Chrome Diopside typically presents with higher clarity as well. A cousin to Jadeite, this gem is sourced from Eastern Siberia, a region where winters can last up to nine months, yielding stones prized for their intense, eye-clean color.

These round faceted stones are sold individually and are well suited for setting into fine jewelry designs where an Emerald look is desired without the associated cost. No treatments have been applied, making them a natural, honest choice for the discerning jeweler.
