The very name of the mineral "diopside" came into Russian from the Greek language. In the literal translation, “diopside” means “double species”. The mineral received this name due to the unusual position of its crystalline prism. The gem can be transparent or colored in a variety of shades. The color of the diopside is a decisive factor regarding the assignment of a particular specimen of a stone to a particular subgroup. The mineral is formed by itself in the wild. It is an integral part of skarn rocks.
