Dioptase History Mythology Information: Dioptase is a blue/green copper-based mineral that can be transparent to translucent and when a high enough grade it can be faceted. Dioptase has been mistaken for Emeralds throughout history due to the bright vivid green colour, however, it is a lot softer mineral than Emerald (Mohs 8) at Mohs of 5 and so if more fragile and easy to tell the difference. The earliest dated artifact found containing Dioptase was a statue with Dioptase eyes dating back to about 7200bc. Dioptase received its name from the combination of the Greek works dia meaning ‘through’ and Optos meaning ‘visible’ in 1797.
