It forms complete solid solution series with hedenbergite (FeCaSi. 6) and augite, and partial solid solutions with orthopyroxene and pigeonite. It forms variably colored, but typically dull green crystals in the monoclinic prismatic class. It has two distinct prismatic cleavages at 87 and 93° typical of the pyroxene series.

Pyroxene Group - Clinopyroxene Subgroup; see also the Diopside-Hedenbergite Series, and the Diopside-Johannsenite Series. One of the most common members of the pyroxene group. Often occurs in metamorphosed limestones (marbles) as generally pale greenish to greyish green crystals, masses and blebs/grains associated with humite -group minerals ...

2023年8月24日 · Diopside is a member of pyroxene group mineral with formula is MgCaSi2O6. Specimens can be colorless but are more often bottle green, brownish green, or light green in color. It has two distinct prismatic cleavages at 87 and 93° typical of the pyroxene series.

Diopside is a mineral with formula of CaMgSi 2 O 6. The corresponding IMA (International Mineralogical Association) number is IMA1988 s.p.. The IMA symbol is Di.

Diopside is a rock-forming pyroxene mineral with a chemical composition of MgCaSi 2 O 6. It occurs in igneous and metamorphic rocks at many locations around the world. Gem-quality crystals of diopside are faceted into attractive gemstones that are occasionally seen in commercial jewelry. Granular diopside can be easily cut and polished.

Diopside is the pale green mineral at the center of the photo that turns second order yellow under crossed polars. The reddish mineral to the left is garnet, and wollastinite appears at the lower right of the screen. Photomicrograph of diopside in plane polarized light.
