Description
Dioptase + Shattuckite + Quartz + Chrysacolla from DRC Late in the 18th century, copper miners in Kazakhstan thought they found the emerald deposit of their dreams; thousands of lustrous deep green transparent crystals. Analysis determined the mineral as new to science and it was named Dioptase (Greek, dia, “through” and optima, “vision”), alluding to the two directions of growth visible inside unbroken crystals. Dioptase is said to bring understanding of one’s roles in life and the roles of others. It is known to stimulate forgiveness and responsibility for one’s own life and evolvement. Supporting the emotional heart, strengthening the physical heart and awakening the spiritual heart, Dioptase is thought to be excellent for helping one through intense life transitions.
