{"product_id":"cuprite-on-primary-malachite","title":"CUPRITE   on Primary MALACHITE","description":"A fabulous octahedral Cuprite crystal, 1.4 cm wide, rests at an acute angle, part embedded in a small matrix of Primary Malachite, from the Mashamba West mine in the Kolwezi mining district of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  The Cuprite forms a metallic black crystal with mirror-like reflective faces and only along one edge are hints of its true characteristic blood-red colour be detected.  The Primary Malachite has a silky lustre which shimmers whilst rocked back and forth.  It forms broad, gently curved blades nested within each other, with each layer receding a little, in a Sidney Opera House roof-style structure.  A choice combination piece from this classic mine in west Africa.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781132656975,"sku":"CC20825","price":925.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC20825_f23bd03b-0e29-4c32-a7e4-692f268aaf53.jpg?v=1783978726","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/cuprite-on-primary-malachite","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
