Diopside was a Crystal Gem from Red Diamond's court who got caught in the Corruption. She appears in the first episode of Lilah Parallel in her corrupted state, a monster resembling a spiky, six-eyed, winged green Triceratops prorsus.
The first episode of Lilah Parallel will drop on February 1, 2024. Patreon supporters will get it a week earlier on January 25, 2024. Hope to see you there!
Diopside (CaMgSi2O6) is a mineral of the pyroxene group and it's commonly found in metamorphic rocks. It forms a complete solid solution series with hedenbergite (CaFeSi2O6).
