diopside

di·op·side

D0235600 (dī-ŏp′sīd′)n. A light green, monoclinic pyroxene mineral, CaMgSi₂O₆, used as a gemstone and refractory.

[French : di-, two (from Greek; see di-¹) + Greek -opsis, -opsis.]

diopside

(daɪˈɒpsaɪd; -sɪd) n (Minerals) a colourless or pale-green pyroxene mineral consisting of calcium magnesium silicate in monoclinic crystalline form: used as a gemstone. Formula: CaMgSi2O6[C19: from di-² + Greek opsis sight, appearance + -ide]

di•op•side

(daɪˈɒp saɪd, -sɪd)

n. a varicolored monoclinic pyroxene mineral, calcium magnesium silicate, CaMg(SiO₃)₂, usu. occurring in crystals. [1800–10; di-³ + Greek óps(is) appearance + -ide]

Diopside

diopside

[dī′äp‚sīd] (mineralogy) CaMg(SiO₃)₂ A white to green monoclinic pyroxene mineral which forms gray to white, short, stubby, prismatic, often equidimensional crystals. Also known as malacolite.

Diopside

a rock-forming mineral, a silicate of the group of monoclinic pyroxenes. Its chemical composition is CaMg[Si₂O₆]; part of the Mg can be replaced by Fe²⁺. Gray to grayish-green in color, it has a hardness on the mineralogical scale of 5.5-6 and a density of 3,270-3,400 kg/m³. Diopside is usually encountered as irregularly shaped grains with a good cleavage in gabbro, diabase, diorite, syenite, skarn, and other igneous and metamorphic rocks. More rarely it forms large transparent green crystals (so-called baikalite).
