This is a true collector mineral in miniature, and the specimen photographed is the exact piece you receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDioptase is a rare copper cyclosilicate whose emerald-to-teal green comes from copper bound directly into the crystal structure, giving color saturation few minerals match. It forms hexagonal prismatic crystals in oxidized copper deposits, and Reneville ranks among the premier localities on earth for depth of color and clarity. Too soft and brittle for jewelry at Mohs 5, it lives almost entirely in the collector market. Completely natural and untreated, sourced through a community partnership in Reneville.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thumbnail-class specimen for cabinets, riker mounts, and serious collections, dioptase is traditionally associated with emotional healing and intuition. Handle it sparingly and display it protected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213234794532,"sku":"IND-DIO-SPC-0009","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/dioptase-crystal-specimen-republic-congo-9-01_6766bd8a-7107-423b-9ce3-f194ad4b7ef1.png?v=1783735883","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/dioptase-specimen-congo-9","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
