Russian Emerald Alternative: Natural Chrome Diopside
Chrome diopside gets its rich green color from chromium content within the crystal structure. Higher chromium concentrations produce deeper greens that rival emerald at a fraction of the cost. The stones in our collection remain untreated, displaying their natural color as formed in the earth. Most commercial-grade chrome diopside comes from the Inagli deposit in the Sakha Republic of Russia, though deposits also exist in Pakistan, South Africa, and Madagascar. The mineral belongs to the pyroxene group and exhibits strong pleochroism, meaning it shows different color intensities when viewed from different angles. Cutters orient each stone to display the deepest green through the table facet. Because chrome diopside rates softer than sapphire or ruby, we recommend these rings for dress occasions rather than daily manual work. SilverRush Style has offered natural gemstone jewelry since 2005. We set each chrome diopside in solid .925 sterling silver and ship free within the United States.
