Diopside
If you love the color green, is this ever the mineral for you! Specifically, a type of diopside called chrome diopside: It might be the only mineral that out-greens emerald. It can be so vivid and eye-catching, you might think it’s faked, but rest assured, it’s the real deal. It’s a great favorite of rockhounds for more than just its color: Sometimes thought of as a “green means go” rock, chrome diopside can literally lead prospectors to hidden treasure. Technically known as an “indicator mineral,” chrome diopside is known by diamond seekers for often being found near diamonds. Since diamonds are so rare and hard to find, they’ll search instead for a trail of chrome diopside fragments, hoping it will lead them like a chain of green traffic lights straight to a “pipe” of diamond-bearing igneous rock. This beautiful but modest mineral is, in other words, the big green light of the rock world, serving as a sign to keep going because your treasure is near. And if you’re lucky enough to have diopside come up for you, it’s your big sign too that something wonderful is at the end of the path you’re on.
The Bottom Line
