25mm ~ 1" ~ chain sold seperately
Handmade silver pendant with a large 10mm untreated, rich green Siberian Chrome Diopside and a 4mm sparkly bright pink Tourmaline. Unfortunately, "Chrome Diopside" is often made from glass, resin, plastics, and dyes to imitate the appearance of the genuine article. If a huge flawless gem is a price that looks too good to be true...
One reason chrome diopside is not as well-known as emerald or tsavorite garnet is its rarity, particularly in high-quality stones with good clarity and saturation. Due to the harsh climate, the Siberian mines where chrome diopside is primarily sourced are accessible for only a few months each year, limiting production. Although smaller deposits have been found in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Siberian chrome diopside remains the most prized. This stunning gemstone is an excellent example.
Chrome Diopside increases intuition, intelligence and mental awareness. As a heart chakra jewellery piece (green & pink stones), it provides balance, joy and optimism.
Since 1996, Kacha Stones has specialised in ethically mined crystals. Ethical sourcing is important for the environment and mining communities and for keeping the crystal's energy intact. Blasting a hole in the earth and collecting the rubble does not produce the best crystals.
Most crystal shops use the "ethically mined" prefix, which is only possible by buying directly from miners. For 30 years, we have worked directly with miners from the icy slopes of the Himalayas to the arid deserts of Namibia.
