Chromodiopside is a mineral that belongs to the group of pyroxenes and is a variety of diopside rich in chromium. It is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and its dark green to blackish green color is due to chromium inclusions in its crystalline structure.

Chromodiopside is a relatively rare mineral and has been found in various parts of the world, including Italy, Russia, Finland, and the United States . Although not well known outside the field of mineralogy, chrome diopside is valued for its beauty and can be used in jewelry, especially high-quality pieces and rare gem collections.

In addition to its aesthetic value, chrome diopside also has industrial applications. It is used as a source of chromium in the manufacture of steel alloys and in the production of refractories, materials that have a high resistance to high temperatures and are used in the glass industry, among others. It is also used as an abrasive in the manufacture of polishes and sanding products.
