Green with a bright, rugged heart
Green and dark grey-green meet bright whitish patches in this raw Diopside, creating a lively contrast across its textured face. Small reflective points bring sparkle to the grainier areas, while uneven edges give the piece a rugged outline. Its green is rich without being uniform, leaving plenty of little changes to discover.
The colours suggest the layered greens of a woodland, with pale breaks of light between darker places. Diopside makes an interesting companion to smoother green stones: the same broad colour, expressed through a very different surface. Those bright patches are especially pleasing against the darker grain.
