Chrome diopside 0.86ct 7x5mm cushion cut

A cushion-cut chrome diopside from Pakistan with a medium forest green color that carries a subtle warm, slightly olive undertone, distinguishing it from the cooler-toned stones in this group. The facets return good green reflections in direct light, and the stone has a nicely shaped cushion outline with an evenly polished surface.

Color tone variations within Pakistani chrome diopside parcels are natural and reflect minor differences in the mineral's iron and chromium balance. No treatment has been applied to this stone. This cushion size works well in pendant settings or earrings where the warm forest green can be shown to advantage.
