Chrome Diopside

Chrome Diopside. Diopside as a gemstone occurs in two forms: Diopside – Black Star, and Chrome Diopside (which contains chromium, giving it its deep green color).
Diopside has been known as a gemstone since antiquity. It is usually green, brownish-green or light green, but it can also be colorless, white, brown, black or violet depending on its iron content. Very bright green diopside crystals are colored by chromium, while the violet shades are due to manganese. Violet-blue crystals are called violan.
Diopside is said to encourage a positive attitude to life and to provide a well-balanced temperament overall. It can help its owner solve problems that have weighed on them for years.
It connects with people's inner nature and with the hidden secrets of the Universe; it can release deeply buried feelings, suppressed for years, that have caused headaches, raised blood pressure and other obsessive forms of the same. It is also excellent for supporting older people, so they can cope more easily with physical and mental impairments as well as other degenerative conditions.
Diopside is a helper in making connections with spiritual teachers and guides. It is a good stone to wear during the retrogrades of Jupiter.
