(Silver Mount)

Black star diopside has been known since ancient times. The name "diopside" comes from the Greek word for "double vision" and derives from the two-tone coloration that often appears in these stones. Its black star variety was discovered much later during a mining expedition near Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 19th century.

It is a stone of inner vision and spiritual connection, aiding insight and intuition. Its star-ray pattern is said to activate the third eye chakra and enhance psychic gifts. It also helps one gain clarity in situations where confusion reigns, promoting objectivity and balance.

It is known for its ability to promote the regeneration of healthy cells, as well as its healing properties for the respiratory system. Star Diopsides are also believed to help regulate menstrual cycles in women and reduce stress when worn or held close to us. Black Star Diopside brings strength, stability, abundance, and joy in life.
