Diopside (Chromian Diopside)A superb classic old time specimen of fine rich green colored chromium bearing Diopside from the famous locality at Outokumpu, Finland. The crystals on this piece measure up to 3. 2 cm long (though the largest crystal is not 100% complete at the base), which are intermixed with several other "Chrome Diopside" prisms and either Chalcopyrite or Pyrrhotite. The main crystal is not only well terminated, sharp, and lustrous, but it's GEMMY with that

Considering that these crystals are from Bolivia is what makes them truly exciting

and I'm told that the locality was purchased by a Korean mining company
