The optical properties of Cr3+ions in lithium metasilicate (Li2O·SiO2) transparent glass–ceramics were investigated. The main crystalline phase precipitated was the lithium metasilicate (Li2O·SiO2) crystal. The percent crystallinity and crystalline size were ranging 65–75% and 20–35nm, respectively. The color changes drastically to deep pink from emerald green upon crystallization. New and strong absorption bands appeared and the absorption intensity increases by about 10 times that in glass. These new absorption bands are found to be derived from Cr3+ions in octahedral sites in the lithium metasilicate crystal lattice. Cr3+ions substitute for three Li+ions and occupy the distorted octahedral site between single [SiO4]nchains of lithium metasilicate crystal. The ligand field parameters can be estimated: 10Dq=13088 cm−1, B=453cm−1, Dq/B=2.89 and C=2036cm−1. The near-infrared luminescence centered at 1250nm was not detected in the deep pink glass–ceramics unlike emerald green glass.
