In the oral folklore of the Sakha people have a legend that long ago, flying in the cold of winter over Yakutia, God had frostbitten his hand and dropped his bag with precious stones. They were scattered on the high mountains, vast river valleys and tundra.
Today Yakut diamonds are known all over the world. But they are not the only ones included in the jewel box of this Northern Republic. It contains garnet, chrysolite, amethyst, rock crystal, jade, jade, and carnelian. Chromdiopside, which is now called the signature stone of Yakutia, has become very popular.
In recent years, along with well-known jewelry stones, gems that are less familiar to a wide range of fans have appeared. Among them, the leading place is occupied by chromdiopside — a bright green variety of diopside, which in Greek means a mineral with a double appearance ("Dios" — double, "opsis" — appearance). In appearance it is similar to an emerald, from which it differs with less hardness and refractive index (sometimes it seems that the edges of the crystal split in two). Inagli river (right tributary of the Aldan), where is a Deposit of chrome-diopside, gave the stone another name — "inaglit". But for a certain similarity with the emerald in the literature for diopside is stable called "Siberian emerald". In Yakutia it was dubbed "Yakutsk emerald". But, unfortunately, none of these names have taken root, and still "cuts" the ear, scaring many of the unknown, obscure and unattractive word — "chrome diopside».
