I made this Dioptase pendant for almost 1 year. The story behind it is simply that I didn't know what to do with it! 

There’s something almost otherworldly about Dioptase. I remember the first time I saw a piece in person, it looked like emerald fire frozen in stone. I didn’t buy it that day, but its image stayed with me for weeks. When I finally held one in my hands, it felt like being gently pulled inward, like the stone itself was inviting me to see and heal parts of myself I had hidden away.

What is Dioptase? Dioptase is a striking emerald-green copper silicate mineral known for its vivid crystals and glassy luster. Though soft, its color rivals that of fine emeralds. 

Historical Significance First identified in Kazakhstan in the 18th century, Dioptase was initially mistaken for emerald. Its brilliance and rarity have made it a collector's favorite, especially from Namibia and Congo. 

Metaphysical Energy

Dioptase connects to the Heart chakra, helping to:  

• Release old emotional wounds 
• Foster forgiveness and compassion 
• Open the heart to deep healing 

Dioptase is often called the “Stone of the Heart’s Truth.” It brings a high-frequency healing energy that doesn’t overwhelm but instead works gently and effectively to clear emotional blockages. It's ideal for those doing inner child work, shadow work, or moving through transitions in relationships.
