About this Product
Rich deep green natural Chrome Diopside (1.14ct, VS, Russia) hand set in 925 sterling silver on a sterling silver chain. This beautiful deep green gemstone is mined under extreme conditions. Found in a mine above the artic circle in Siberia, mining can only be done in the 3 summer months, as these are the only month the temperature rises above freezing. The rest of the year it's just to cold. Adding tothe extreme weather conditions, the mines owner recently passed away, this has left the future of the mine undecided. So as of now very very little of rough is coming to market.
Recently no new stones have been coming out of Russia since the Ukraine war. Available Chrome Diopside has been limited to stock already in circulation, or collections. This has caused a supply chain deficit, and prices soaring.
