Dioptase pendant - Shape: rough stoneDescription of the dioptase pendant in the shape of a rough stone.Also commonly known as “copper emerald” takes its name from the Greek “dia” meaning “through” and the Greek word “optazo” which means “I see”. Its name given by the French mineralist René Just Haüy in 1797, refers to the fact that we can see through the stone the traces of cleavage planes. During ancient times, the first dioptases found in the West were brought by the Kyrgyz steppes, a people living in Kyrgyzstan. Dioptase was for a long time confused with emerald because of its green color. It is a stone that was known to bring abundance and richness to those who possessed one. Today, dioptase is used in lithotherapy as an aid on the physical and mental level. To benefit from all its virtues, our rough stone pendants have been shaped by hand in our workshops, with precious stones.
