Dioptase is a rare emerald-to-teal green copper mineral, usually growing in small but intensely colored crystals. It's soft, fragile, and prized by collectors for the purity of its color.

Named in 1801 from Greek words meaning 'double vision'; valued by collectors since its discovery.

Our raw pieces are sourced from Renéville, Republic of the Congo.

In crystal traditions, dioptase is often associated with working through difficult feelings at your own pace, opening to connection, with yourself and others, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the heart and third eye chakras. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
