These Chrome DIopside beads are AAA quality. They are a beautiful, vivid green with very good clarity.
Despite the widespread belief that green gemstones are common, naturally occurring green gemstones are actually quite rare.
For most of time since its discovery in 1988, chrome diopside was sourced from only one location, Russia's Eastern Siberia. But more recently, other deposits have been found in various other localities around the world, most notably Pakistan, which is now considered a significant supplier for chromium-rich diopside.
These particular gemstones were mined in Russia.
