{"product_id":"axinite-with-quartz-and-epidote","title":"AXINITE with QUARTZ and EPIDOTE","description":"A stunning Alpine-type specimen of deep clove-brown Axinite crystals, intermingled and overlaying glassy Quartz crystals, from the mountainous region of Bourg d'Oisans in the Is're department of the Rhône-Alpes region of France.  Bourg d'Oisans is the type locality of Axinite-(Fe).  This specimen is most probably Axinite-(Fe), but this has not been confirmed, so is labelled simply 'Axinite'.  The largest Axinite crystal is over 4 cm wide, yet others are more typically 2 to 2.5 cm.  They are deep clove brown and translucent with occasional gemmy zones.  The Quartz crystals range from transparent 'rock crystal' to colourless with cloudy green-tinged milky interiors.  Embedded in the surface of many Quartz crystals, and the occasional Axinite, are stubby acicular leaf-green crystals of Epidote, for which Bourg d'Oisans is also the type locality.  A showy Axinite with Quartz and Epidote from Isère.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57780472512847,"sku":"CC11453","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC11453.jpg?v=1779741326","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/axinite-with-quartz-and-epidote","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
