For a long time the Russian mines for this popular stone were shut down, so that it was forgotten by many people. Now this intensely green mineral is available again and is experiencing a renaissance in stone healing. It is popularly used to distribute energies evenly and thus to work in a concentrated manner with serenity.
This necklace is not knotted and has a Clasp made of silver 925.
The name Diopside is derived from the Greek word "dis" (double) and "opsis" (look) and indicates that Diopside crystals often occur as twins.
The mineral was first described in 1800 by José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva under the name Coccolite, but in the meantime this name is considered obsolete. The spelling diopsite has also not become accepted.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier, I am the stone-loving founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. My career in the field of gemstones, precious stones, pearls and designer jewelry only began relatively late.
Originally, my attention was focused on collector's minerals, then on polished stone products such as tumbled stones, etc. Later, drilled stones were added, which, worn on a leather strap, were the first jewelry we offered. With the establishment of our office in Bali, Indonesia in 2001 and shortly afterwards our office and company in Hong Kong, I created the basis for integrating many of my favorites such as special crystals, specially cut, rare gemstones, free-form cabochons, beads and pearls into my own jewelry.
