Green diopside on calcite from Afghanistan is a notable skarn mineral association, typically found in contact zones where intruding magmas have altered limestone or dolomite host rocks. In Afghan localities, green diopside forms as well-developed prismatic crystals, often rich in iron or chromium, giving them a vibrant green hue. These crystals are frequently hosted on or embedded in white calcite, creating a visually contrasting and collectible specimen.
