{"product_id":"dioptase-specimen-congo-13","title":"Dioptase Specimen | Republic of the Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003eDioptase specimen from Reneville, Republic of the Congo, AA grade, measuring 1.38 x 1.08 x 0.54 inches. This is a single collector specimen, and the exact piece photographed is the piece delivered. Emerald-green crystals sit on natural matrix, small in footprint, saturated far beyond what the dimensions suggest. Thumbnail-scale specimens like this suit display cases and riker mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper inside the crystal structure produces the color, which is why dioptase never needs enhancement and rarely appears outside collector circles; the mineral is too brittle for jewelry. Reneville stands among the finest dioptase localities on earth. This piece is fully natural and untreated, sourced through a community partnership there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditionally associated with emotional healing and love, dioptase serves best as a stationary display piece near where you sit or work. At Mohs 5 with brittle cleavage, it wants a stable shelf, no pocket time, and dusting with a soft brush.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213235220516,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0013","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-13-05_52f65681-423d-4015-b304-c58fde9200c0.png?v=1783735981","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-13","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
