Number: 8
Dioptase is believed to have a healing influence on the heart, facilitating liberation from the constraints of our past experiences. Consequently, it enables us to embrace our utmost potential with a sense of contentment and serenity. Additionally, it is thought to assist in the process of forgiveness and the release of karmic patterns, granting us the empowerment to express our authentic selves. Similarly, it may aid in dispelling feelings of scarcity and foster a mindset of abundance.
Dioptase was known to the prehistoric world. Three Neolithic pottery statues dated 7200BC were found with their eyes outlined with Dioptase paint. It was more recently rediscovered in a mine in Kazakhstan in the 18th century. At first, it was mistaken for Emerald due to its vibrant green colour. In 1797, it was named by the French mineralogist Rene Just Hauy after the Greek words dia "through" and optos "visible" referring to the way in which it can be seen to cleave in three directions inside the crystals.
Dioptase is a copper silicate mineral with a hardness of 5. Its prismatic crystals terminate in rhomboidal faces. It is found in arid climates in Chile, Namibia, Russia and the USA.
I extend forgiveness and let go of the former patterns that have hindered my progress, embracing with an open heart the abundant blessings that enrich my life.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
