Collection: Diopside

Diopside works on both the heart chakra and the brow chakra. It helps to connect the heart and head for balance between the intellect and emotions. It is also a stone that facilitates forgiveness and letting go, because it helps you to give events a place intellectually and emotionally and to find acceptance in events from the past.

The green color of diopside is given to the gemstone by the presence of chromium. In addition to green diopside, there is also yellow and brown diopside. Although diopside is not extremely rare, it is rare to find large pieces with a beautiful forest green color.
