Dioptase

Science & Origin

Dioptase, first discovered in 1806, is a rare and stunning gemstone primarily composed of copper silicate. It is a cyclosilicate mineral that crystallizes in small prismatic shards, as well as inclusions within Quartz. This mineral occurs around other copper bearing minerals such as Chrysocolla, Malachite and Shattuckite. It forms on copper veins that have been exposed to extensive oxidation. It is known for its vibrant green color, which ranges from bright emerald to deep forest green, often resembling the color of fresh grass or lush vegetation. Dioptase forms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits. Due to its vibrant color and emotional healing properties, Dioptase has been highly valued both as a collector's gem and in metaphysical practices. Revered for its strong connection to the heart chakra, Dioptase is often used to facilitate deep emotional healing and spiritual transformation.
