{"product_id":"aragonite-5","title":"ARAGONITE","description":"Well-formed prismatic crystals of white Aragonite from Špania Dolina in Banská Bystrica County, Slovakia, a classic old-time locality.  The hydrothermal mineralisation at this site has been mined for over 1,000 years, principally for Chalcopyrite, Siderite and Tetrahedrite. This rather delightful Aragonite forms a radiating, fan-like array of divergent, translucent, pseudo-hexagonal prisms of a colourless to milky white to 3 cm tall, with flat pinacoid terminations.  The display face is tinted a lovely patchy lemon yellow, formed from inclusions of what is thought to be an iron oxide (although not confirmed) within the Aragonite.  The yellow colouration is a characteristic feature of many Aragonite specimens from this locality. Under LWUV, the upper parts of the prisms, just below and including the terminations, appear to fluoresce a dull and somewhat ethereal brownish red.  This may be a result of reflected visible light from the lower frequency-range of the ultraviolet source I am using, yet I do suspect it more a true UV property of the Aragonite and not an artifact.\n","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781503721807,"sku":"CC7483","price":666.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC7483_277f8ec7-fb3f-4b61-8b79-5a765290a9b1.jpg?v=1783991818","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/aragonite-5","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
