This extraordinary dioptase specimen commands attention with its vivid emerald green crystals emerging from a natural matrix in stunning abundance. Weighing 3 lbs 8 oz and measuring approximately 5" x 5", this is one of the most impressive dioptase pieces in the Gems & Stems collection.
The dioptase crystals display the deep, saturated green this mineral is celebrated for, with excellent transparency and a vitreous luster that catches light from every angle. White botryoidal calcite clusters create a beautiful contrast against the green, while tiny golden mimetite spheres scattered throughout add an additional layer of mineral diversity and collector appeal.
Three distinct minerals on a single specimen is uncommon, making this piece especially desirable for serious mineral collectors and crystal enthusiasts alike. The matrix shows the natural formation beautifully, with dioptase crystals covering multiple faces of the specimen.
Dioptase is one of the most sought after collector minerals in the world, prized for its intense color that rivals even the finest emeralds. Found primarily in the copper rich deposits of the Congo, quality specimens of this size are becoming increasingly rare.
Metaphysical Properties
Dioptase is known as the "Stone of Living in the Moment," deeply connected to the Heart Chakra. It encourages emotional healing, forgiveness, and the release of past attachments that no longer serve your growth. Calcite amplifies energy and accelerates spiritual development, while mimetite is believed to support creative expression and adventurous pursuits. Together, these three minerals create a powerful combination for heart centered transformation and living fully in the present.
