Diopside

A generic image
Diopside is a calcium magnesium silicate with a hardness of 5.5-6. It may form in short prismatic crystals or in granular or massive habits. Its colour is usually pale to dark green or green/black. Sometimes it displays asterism (4-rayed) and is known as Star Diopside. Rarer forms may be white/clear or white/blue (Violan / Violane).
How Diopside is best used depends on its colour, although all forms help us connect more closely with the Earth.
Deep Green (Chromium) Diopside is very clearing, balancing and generally healing, and is said to be a profound stone for connecting one's own heart to the heart of the Earth, facilitating communication with all manifestations of her consciousness. Pale Green Diopside is a more gentle stone, enhancing inner clarity and peace.
Black Diopside is strongly grounding, providing a firmer connection to the Earth Star chakra, enabling excess energy to be grounded and planetary energies to be more easily utilised: it is also a wonderful stone for the geomancer to work with.
Star Diopsides all have enhanced energies, permitting profound connections to be made between Earth and the Cosmos.
Blue Diopside (Violan / Violane) has a more granular texture, similar to marble. It has a Light-ening energy, bringing greater clarity to the intuitive mind, and aiding clear communication, like a breath of fresh air.
