{"product_id":"cuprite-24","title":"CUPRITE","description":"This fabulous miniature of exquisitely crystallised Cuprite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia is associated with small, 1 mm crystals of greyish-cream Dolomite.  The crystal quality of both species combines to create a stunning specimen which has been mounted vertically on a small acrylic base. The base is labelled simply as “Cuprite” together with its catalogue number, hinting as to its previous life in a famous modern collection of Tsumeb miniatures and thumbnails.  The Cuprite forms as highly modified, cuboctahedral and dodecahedral crystals of intensely deep maroon red, appearing black from a distance.  On close examination, hints of translucent vibrant red can be observed around the crystal edges.  Under low magnification, sub-millimetre micro-crystals of deep emerald green Malachite are dotted here and there over the Cuprite surfaces.  A magnificent miniature Cuprite from Tsumeb.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57780962984271,"sku":"CC15898","price":3701.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC15898.jpg?v=1783972263","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/cuprite-24","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
