Bluish stones are most valuable. Prices for chrysoberyls grow rapidly with weight, and clean stones bigger than 15 cts are rare and therefore an excellent investment.

Diopside Vs Chrysoberyl Fracture
Fracture is an important parameter when you compare Diopside and Chrysoberyl Physical Properties. It is necessary to understand the significance of these properties, before you compare Diopside Vs Chrysoberyl fracture. Whenever a gemstone chip breaks, it leaves a characteristic line along its breakage. Such lines are known as fracture and are used to identify the gemstones in their initial stages of production when they are in the form of rough minerals. Fracture is usually described with the terms “fibrous” and “splintery” to denote a fracture that usually leaves elongated and sharp edges. Fracture observed in Diopside is Conchoidal, UnevenWalter Schumann, Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references, Brittle and Conchoidal.
