{"product_id":"azurite-17","title":"AZURITE","description":"This old-time specimen of Azurite crystals lining a distorted Azurite nodule is labelled simply as the Ural Mountains, Russia.  However, it possibly originates from the Mikheevskoe Copper deposit in southern Russia, a mine only about 50 km from the border with Kazakhstan.  The 10.2 cm long nodule forms a geode-like structure, with a twisted, approximately 1 cm thick shell of inwardly crystallised inky-azure blue Azurite, lined with fabulous deep inky-blue Azurite crystals with a bright glassy lustre.  There is an occasional surface alteration to emerald-green Malachite, but this is sparse, together with a patchy dusting of tan-buff Calcite micro-crystals.  The specimen is accompanied with a small, old card label, hand stencilled 'AZZURRITE xx'.  From anywhere this would be a terrific Azurite nodule, but from the Ural Mountains it is exceptionally fine.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781516370255,"sku":"CC8395","price":740.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC8395_749f08b7-52f8-4dd6-84f4-f8bd1b7e09d0.jpg?v=1783992493","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/azurite-17","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
