The listing is for this exact photographed specimen and no other. Thumbnail-class pieces like this are how most collectors first meet dioptase, a small stone with unforgettable green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew minerals concentrate color the way dioptase does; copper in its cyclosilicate structure produces an emerald-teal that once fooled buyers into calling it emerald. It grows in oxidized copper deposits and stays a cabinet mineral, too brittle to cut. Natural and untreated, it was sourced through a community partnership in Renéville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDestined for a display case, riker mount, or collector's shelf, traditionally linked with love and healing practice. Handle it sparingly: Mohs 5, brittle, and happiest left untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213234499620,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0019","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-19-02_ea151b74-0735-48a9-9c8c-72f67e853b24.png?v=1783736136","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-19","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
