Dioptase Specimen

Dioptase Specimen

Dioptase is a vivid emerald-green mineral composed of copper cyclosilicate, often found in well-formed prismatic crystals with a brilliant, glassy luster. Scientifically, its intense coloration is due to its high copper content, and it typically forms in oxidized copper deposits. Though visually similar to emerald, Dioptase is much softer, making it more suitable for display and energy work than everyday wear. Metaphysically, Dioptase is considered a powerful stone of emotional release and heart-centered healing. It resonates strongly with the heart chakra, helping to dissolve deeply held grief, sadness, and unresolved emotional trauma. Its gentle yet profound energy encourages compassion, empathy, and inner peace, while promoting emotional clarity and self-awareness. Dioptase is also known for supporting forgiveness—both of self and others—by softly unlocking past wounds and making space for new growth, love, and transformation.

This gorgeous Dioptase is from Likosi, Congo.
