ULTRA RARE 3.85 CARAT VVS1 PAIR OF SIBERIAN CHROME DIOPSIDES
‘RUSSIAN EMERALD’
PROVENANCE: EARTH MINED AT INAGLI, SAKHA STATE (YAKUTIA), EASTERN SIBERIA, RUSSIA
CARAT WEIGHT: 3.85 CARATS (COMBINED)
CLARITY: VVS1 (EXCELLENT FOR CHROME DIOPSIDES)
DIMENSIONS: 9.10 x 7.00 x 4.10mm
COLOUR: CHROME GREEN
CUT: OVAL CUT
ORIGIN: INAGLI, SAKHA (YAKUTIA, EASTERN SIBERIA, RUSSIA
TREATMENTS: NONE
An absolutely stunning and ultra rare 3.85 Carat VVS pair of Siberian Chrome Diopsides. It is exceptionally rare to find a pair of this size, and clarity. They also have unusually vivid neon green flashes, which are extremely beautiful.
Also known as the 'Russian Emerald', it is a gemstone of great beauty, and rarity. This striking matched pair would make a uniquely beautiful pair of earrings.
In Siberia, it is too cold to mine during the winter, making an extra task of keeping production levels even throughout the year. On the MOHS scale of hardness, it is rated a 6-6.5, and is suitable for jewellery.
It has two planes, so you have to be extra careful when you facet it. This is also why there is approximately 90% loss on the rough. So to cut 10 carats of polished Chrome Diopside will require 100 carats of the rough!!
Yakutia, officially the Sakha Republic of the Russian Federation, is a land of extremes. To begin with, it is by far the world’s largest ‘stateoid’, or political unit below the level of a sovereign state, covering 3,103,200 square kilometers (1,198,000 square miles), as opposed to second-place Western Australia’s 2,527,621 square kilometers (975,919 square miles). More than twice the size of Alaska, Yakutia would be the world’s eighth largest country by area if it were independent.
The white area is Yakutia.
