Tanzania produces some interesting colors for gem Diopside; there are the well known intense greens, but also odd shades of yellow and yellow-green that we don’t often see from elsewhere. These tend to be relatively small, so an attractive and nearly clean 1 carat gem in one of these unusual colors is a good find. This was a one-off and we have yet to see anymore. Scarce.
