(Silver Mount)

Black star diopside, known since ancient times, gets its name from the Greek word for “double vision,” referring to the two-tone coloration that often appears in this stone. Although diopside has been used for centuries, its star variety was discovered later, in the 19th century, during a mining expedition near Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains of Russia. This rare stone is particularly prized for its spiritual and introspective properties.

The starburst pattern of black star diopside is said to activate the third eye chakra, facilitating inner vision, spiritual connection, and intuition. It is said to help develop psychic gifts and provide clarity and objectivity in confusing situations, promoting a stable inner balance.

Physically, this stone is known for its cellular regeneration abilities and its benefits for the respiratory system. It is also known to help regulate menstrual cycles and to soothe stress when worn or held nearby. Black star diopside is thus a stone of strength, stability, abundance and joy, ideal for those who wish to strengthen their resilience while remaining anchored and centered in their spiritual journey.
