The most prized color is pigeon's blood, a pure red with a subtle bluish tint.

DIOPSID:

It is also known by the misleading name of Russian Emerald, because quality specimens have a color very similar to this gemstone. Chromium diopside is a variety of a beautiful emerald green. This intense green hue is due to the presence of chromium within the stone's crystalline structure. Following its relatively recent discovery in Russia, it has been marketed with great success as a gemstone that offers a lower price alternative to emerald and other more expensive green gems.
