{"product_id":"dioptase-specimen-congo-10","title":"Dioptase Specimen | Republic of the Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003eDioptase specimen in AA grade from Reneville, Republic of the Congo, measuring 1.14 by 1.02 by 0.62 inches. You receive the exact specimen photographed; this is a one-of-a-kind piece. Few localities anywhere produce dioptase with the color intensity Reneville is known for, which keeps these small specimens in steady demand among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper gives dioptase its deep emerald-to-teal color, saturating small hexagonal prismatic crystals that form where copper deposits oxidize. The color rivals emerald while the mineral itself stays strictly a cabinet stone, too brittle to cut. AA grade reflects vivid, well-defined crystals on this piece. It carries natural, untreated color and was sourced through a community partnership in Reneville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it in a display case or thumbnail box where it can be admired without handling; dioptase is traditionally linked with emotional healing and intuition. At Mohs 5 and brittle, it should never travel in a pocket or a mixed stone bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213234925604,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0010","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-10-01_3eb42532-5879-46c8-a57c-608c7000e9e0.png?v=1783735904","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-10","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
