Diopside is a mineral from the pyroxene family and has the chemical formula CaMgSi2O6. The composition of diopside includes calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si). It is a calcium-magnesium monosilicate mineral. Diopside can also contain some trace impurities that can affect its color and appearance. Diopside is a gem mineral that occurs in a variety of color shades, including green and black. Afghanistan is one of the locations where quality diopsides are mined. Afghan Diopside is prized for its intense green color and clarity. Its green hue can be rich and vivid, making it an attractive gem for jewelry. Afghan diopsides are also popular among gem collectors who appreciate their natural beauty and quality. Due to the hardness, which varies between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale, diopsides are sufficiently resistant.
