Example sentencesExamples
- Aegirine is distinctive because of its brown color, whereas diopside is the blue alteration seen on babingtonite.
- Some of the characteristic minerals found in kimberlite are olivine, pyrope garnet, enstatite, diopside, ilmenite, phlogopite, perovskite, magnetite, and spinel.
- Here it was found sparsely as rounded grains associated with pargasite, diopside, oligoclase and lazurite.
- Interesting thin plates of silver coating rhodonite and diopside in massive galena are reported from the mines at Garpenberg, Sweden.
- The veins are surrounded by a 5-to 10-cm-wide alteration zone that consists of calcite, dolomite, diopside, hedenbergite, vesuvianite, and base-metal sulfides.
- The main minerals identified were mainly calcite also some diopside, wollastonite, iron oxides and a few scattered dolomite crystals.
- The occurrence is in deformed, silicified marble accompanied by forsterite, diopside, zcolites, scapolite, and pyrite.
- Other minerals from the State Line kimberlite pipes have gem potential; these include pyrope and chrome diopside.
- Brown, green, and gray prismatic crystals of diopside to 8 cm in length appear to be somewhat altered.
- The rock is dominated by well-oriented hornblende surrounding porphyroclasts of diopside, which is patchily transitional into hornblende.
- Other areas showed mixtures of fine-grained garnet, diopside, and other Ca-silicate minerals.
- They have a mineralogical association of quartz, diopside, actinolite, plagioclase and K-feldspar.
- The Herbeira websterites contain diopside, enstatite, and pargasite with olivine, garnet, spinel, magnetite and ilmenite as minor phases.
- These include aquamarine, chrome diopside, diamond, jade, labradorite, forsterite, opal, pyrope, variscite, and many unique agates and jaspers.
- This mineral always shows some degree of alteration to either aegirine or diopside.

Origin

Early 19th century: from French, formed irregularly from di-³ 'through' + Greek opsis 'aspect', later interpreted as derived from Greek diopsis 'a view through'.
