Description
Diopside – round beads, 10 mm
Diopside is a clinopyroxene with Mohs hardness 5.5 to 6.5. The green variety, often traded as chrome diopside, takes its colour from chromium in the crystal lattice; deposits are worked in Siberia, Madagascar, Pakistan and Myanmar. Softer than quartz, it scratches more easily and is best stored apart from faceted quartz.
Round beads thread evenly and are the classic choice for bracelets and necklaces. They are drilled through the centre.
Care: clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, then wipe dry. An ultrasonic bath is not necessary for natural stone.
