STONE DETAILS

Diopside The name Diopside is derived from the Greek words ‘dis’ which means twice and ‘opsi’ which means face. It means double appearance, which refers to the way the crystal’s prism is orientated. Diopside is a silicate mineral in the pyroxene family that occurs in metamorphosed siliceous limestones and dolomites. Its hardness is measured at 7 on the Mohs scale and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. Diopside can be found in various countries, including the USA, Sweden, Canada, Russia, Germany and China.

Pyrite The word “pyrite” is taken from the Greek word «pyr» meaning Fire. That name was given to the mineral, as Pyrite was used to spark flames to light fires. Pyrite, or iron pyrite, is an iron disulfide, which is characterized by the cubic crystal system and the hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale. Pyrite is derived mostly from Peru, the USA, Bolivia and Spain.
