Crystal Energy
Dioptase doesn’t tiptoe around pain — it holds it, moves it, and helps you alchemise it. It’s especially potent for those healing from deep emotional wounds, abandonment, or heartbreak. It brings suppressed emotion to the surface, but with compassion, not chaos.

It teaches you that healing is not about forgetting, but about feeling safely again. In energy work, Dioptase is a heart opener — not to make you more vulnerable, but more whole. It is especially supportive during therapy, trauma processing, or shadow work around emotional wounds.
