Chrome Diopside from Gusdal Olivine Pit, Norway

Chrome Diopside from the Gusdal Olivine Pit, Almklovdalen, Vanylven, Møre og Romsdal, Norway

Bright green Diopside specimens from the Gusdal Olivine pit.

These specimens are quite fragile and grainy - natural chrome bearing diopside crystals amongst grey-green chromite. The crystals are extremely small, this is more of a granular micro-coating of Diopside than the larger diopside crystals seen at other locales.
