Scientific Dioptase:

Fr. René Just Haüy (the famed French mineralogist) in 1797 determined that the enigmatic Altyn-Tyube mineral, discovered in copper miners at the Altyn-Tyube (Altyn-Tube) mine, Karagandy Province, Kazakhstanwas, was new to science and named it dioptase (Greek, dia, "through" and optos, "visible"), alluding to the mineral's two cleavage directions that are visible inside unbroken crystals.

Dioptase is an uncommon mineral found mostly in desert regions where it forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of copper sulfide mineral deposits. However, the process of its formation is not simple, the oxidation of copper sulfides should be insufficient to crystallize dioptase as silica is normally minutely soluble in water except at highly alkaline pH. The oxidation of sulfides will generate highly acidic fluids rich in sulfuric acid that should suppress silica solubility. However, in dry climates and with enough time, especially in areas of a mineral deposit where acids are buffered by carbonate, minute quantities of silica may react with dissolved copper forming dioptase and chrysocolla.

Rivaling the colors of the darkest emeralds, Dioptase appearance is a brilliant, intense emerald-green crystals, that almost appear to glow. Some microscopic crystals form star-like shapes radiating from a common center. A relatively rare stone, the major attraction is it's brilliant color, making a collectors shelf full of stones all the more interesting.

Dioptase in Lore:
