Crystal Type & Species: Diopside is a calcium magnesium silicate mineral belonging to the pyroxene group (CaMgSi₂O₆). It typically forms in monoclinic prismatic crystals with a rich green colour and vitreous luster. This specimen is naturally associated with Brown Mica (likely phlogopite or biotite), a sheet silicate mineral known for its earthy brown-gold tones and reflective surfaces.

Geology: The Badakhshan region of Afghanistan is known for its complex metamorphic and pegmatitic geology, which hosts a wide range of rare and collectible mineral species. Diopside commonly forms in contact and regional metamorphic rocks, especially in skarns and marbles, where it grows alongside garnet, vesuvianite, and mica minerals. The inclusion of brown mica adds contrast and aesthetic appeal to this already rare crystal pairing.

Scientific & Metaphysical Properties: Diopside is associated with the Heart Chakra, known to promote emotional healing, compassion, and expansion. It is said to help balance the mind and heart, making it a powerful ally in personal growth. Brown Mica (phlogopite/biotite) is believed to offer grounding and stabilising energy, enhancing one’s connection to the Earth and providing mental clarity. Together, they create a crystal synergy of healing and focus.
