{"product_id":"dioptase-specimen-congo-12","title":"Dioptase Specimen | Republic of the Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003eAA-grade Dioptase specimen from Renéville, Republic of the Congo, measuring 1.04 by 0.93 by 0.79 inches. This is a one-of-a-kind collector mineral, and the exact specimen photographed is the one you receive. Small size is normal for dioptase; the color does the talking, and this piece carries it well for its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDioptase is a rare hydrous copper cyclosilicate that grows sharp hexagonal prisms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, and its emerald-to-teal saturation rivals fine gems. Renéville ranks among the premier localities in the world for it. The crystals are completely natural and untreated, and the piece was sourced through a community partnership in Renéville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis belongs in a display case, a thumbnail cabinet, or a serious collection rather than a pocket; the stone is traditionally linked with emotional healing and love. At Mohs 5 and brittle, it should be handled rarely and gently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213235187748,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0012","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-12-04_5a0ffae7-fc36-4c28-bec5-129a6032affc.png?v=1783735952","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-12","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
