Abstract
Experimental ceramic samples were obtained in which the presence of CaMgSi2O6 (predominant phase), MgCr2O4, CaAl2Si2O8 and quartz was detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. During the microscopic examination of the prepared sections, two mineral phases were established: main – clinopyroxene and secondary – green spinel. The presence of prismatic-granular and skeletal structure was found. In the formed dominant diopside phase the presence of numerous inclusions of magnesium-chromium spinel with green color (sizes up to 0,05 mm) was observed evenly distributed in the sections determining the characteristic green color of the samples.
