Chrome diopside 0.39ct 5x4mm oval cut

A small oval chrome diopside from Russia showing a vivid, bright grass green with a lively yellow-green component that gives the stone real energy at this size. The facets scatter bright highlights in direct light and the stone has a lively presence for its compact 5x4mm proportions. A clean, well-faceted oval with characteristic SI clarity.

Russian chrome diopside at smaller sizes tends to exhibit a brighter, more yellow-inflected green than heavier stones of the same material. The color is entirely natural chromium coloration, with no treatment applied. Small ovals like this are well suited for stud earrings, pendant settings, or paired designs where their vivid color makes an appealing impression.
