DescriptionBlue diopsidite skarn Buryatia Republic, Transbaikalia, eastern Siberia.jpg

Blue diopsidite skarn (tumble-polished specimen) from the——Neoproterozoic of the "Dovyren Highlands," eastern Siberia, Russia.


Skarn is a coarsely-crystalline, contact metamorphic rock. The attractive rock shown here is a rare variety of skarn dominated by, bluish-colored diopside pyroxene (“violane”/“violan”) ((Ca,Mg,Fe)₂Si₂O₆). Such rocks are called diopsidite skarn.
