Crystal Love | Dioptase

This beautiful mineral is a brilliant emerald green color. I always admire pieces of it at the local natural history museum. ☺ But this stone isn't only beautiful, it's helpful in healing the heart as well.

Healing
Dioptase supports the heart and  is a powerful stone for women who have been in abusive relationships or who have unresolved traumas from this time in their life. This stone is also a forgiving stone. It aids in forgiving another who has wronged or hurt you, helping you move forward in your life. It aids in healing emotional wounds. This forgiveness is not an acceptance of what has occurred, but a release to prevent it from happening again.

It also helps heal sadness/heartache, providing a new outlook on the present, and increasing self-love so you may move on to the future.

Dioptase can also be used to help relieve the effects of heart disease. It is also very effective in directing healing energy to Mother Earth.

Chakra
Dioptase is a powerful stone for aligning your chakras, and most importantly, opening the heart chakra. Aiding you by its energy, it balances your yin-yang energy.

Protection
Dioptase can be used by healers to protect themselves from empathic absorption of their patient's symptoms.
