{"product_id":"corundum-var-sapphire-1","title":"CORUNDUM   var. SAPPHIRE","description":"A stunning double terminated crystal of Sapphire, a variety of Corundum, from the rich gem-bearing district of Ratnapura in Sabaragamuwa Province, Sri Lanka.  The crystal is hexagonal in cross-section and tapered to a point at each end.  The crystal would be described as a floater as it shows no point of attachment.  The overall colour is cornflower-blue, but on closer inspection displays alternating horizontal banding of cornflower-blue and milky-bluish-white.  The prism faces are smooth but deeply striated normal to the long axis.  A superb example of an off-matrix Sapphire crystal from the Sri Lankan gem fields.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781015740751,"sku":"CC19243","price":4441.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC19243_4f509fc1-a5f0-457c-a3bc-69fbebb372ec.jpg?v=1783975743","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/corundum-var-sapphire-1","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
