Cool Facts:
Dioptase is a copper silicate whose vivid emerald-green fooled 18th-century miners in Kazakhstan into thinking they had found emeralds.
Its name comes from the Greek for "to see through", because its cleavage planes can be seen inside the crystal.
The finest crystals come from Tsumeb in Namibia and the Congo.
