The name is derived from the Greek words dis (double) and opsis(sight). Very bright green diopside colored by chromium, is known as chrome diopside. Violet-blue crystals, colored by manganese, may be called Violane. A dark green to black colored stone found in India, can be cut as a cabochon to show a star. Star Diopside - a member of the pyroxene group, contains needlelike crystals of magnetite, which make it magnetic. These also produce a distinctive 4 or 6 ray star that is most visible under a single light source. Often known as the Star of India as it is mined in southern India. Its color is primarly black. Metaphysical - Legends say that star diposides were once stars that had fallen to earth but were able to retain their sparkle as a reminder of what they once were. In modern times the stone is thought to be for treatments of blood disorders, particularly clotting disorders, for problem solving and a balanced temprement.
