Chrome diopside necklace 2 mm faceted - 925 sterling silver gold-plated

Chrome diopside is featured in this gemstone necklace as a finely faceted 2 mm bead chain in a rich, vibrant emerald green. The small gemstone beads catch the light in a way that brings out the deep green hue with particular vibrancy. Chrome diopside is a chromium-rich variety of the mineral diopside (CaMgSi₂O₆) from the pyroxene group, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.5. The intense emerald green color is created by traces of chromium in the crystal lattice – the same element that gives emerald its color. Mined primarily in Siberia (Russia), it is therefore also known as "Siberian Emerald." Other locations include Pakistan, India, Finland, and South Africa.

Meaning in crystal healing

In crystal healing, chrome diopside is considered a stone of creativity and heart-opening. It is said to awaken creative potential, resolve inner conflicts, and provide new energy during stressful phases. It is associated with the heart chakra. These attributions are based on established tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
