{"product_id":"dioptase-specimen-congo-15","title":"Dioptase Specimen | Republic of the Congo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an AA-grade Dioptase specimen from Reneville, Republic of the Congo, measuring 1.36 x 1.23 x 0.72 inches, photographed individually so the exact piece shown is the exact piece delivered. Its blocky proportions give it more crystal face per inch than most thumbnail specimens from the locality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper locked in the crystal structure produces the deep emerald-to-teal color, a saturation few green minerals reach without enhancement; dioptase needs none. The species forms hexagonal prisms in oxidized copper zones and remains scarce on the market. This piece is fully natural, sourced through a community partnership in the Reneville area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerious collectors shelve dioptase under glass, and the stone is traditionally linked to healing and intuition. With Mohs 5 hardness and brittle crystal edges, it belongs on display rather than in a pocket, away from bumps and stacking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213226405924,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0015","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-15-03_a8483581-d1ad-4068-8071-c5dddeee5f4f.png?v=1783736033","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-15","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
