| ⓘ Diopside var. Blue Diopside Formula: CaMgSi2O6 Colour: blue - due to high vanadium contents (NOTE: Simikin et al., 2019 make this assertion, but there's no evidence that the blue VO(2+) ion is present, or that ~350 ppm V would be sufficient to color the mineral; also, other analyses of the blue diopside show V at even lower concentrations (https://www.rockptx.com/fkm-301-to-fkm-325/#FKM-308 ). An alternative and perhaps more plausible hypothesis is the blue color is due to Fe-Ti charge transfer in the otherwise extremely pure diopside.
