{"product_id":"dolomite-25","title":"DOLOMITE Stalactites","description":"Although well-known for Dolomite mineral specimens it is rare that crystal-coated stalactites are seen from Tsumeb mine - most Tsumeb Dolomite being finely crystallized casts and epimorphs after other minerals. That makes this very large miniature-sized group of parallel stalactites particularly nice. The stalactites are coated with small, cream coloured, pearlescent, curved, saddle-shaped rhombic crystals but have a darker orange-brown core with a slight internal tube-like structure. The longest stalactite reaches 6.7 cm in length with others of differing lengths providing a quite aesthetic display which can be viewed from both sides. One of the stalactites on each side is sheered off: one near the base of the specimen, showing the internal form in cross-section; another on the other side higher up, nearer to its tip. On one side the lower section of one stalactite is open, showing a longer display of its internal orange-brown gossanous core. A really fascinating Tsumeb specimen.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58636004032847,"sku":"CC46036","price":443.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC46036_a25c5534-c136-44e6-92d8-f04ae9686bb8.jpg?v=1788274895","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/dolomite-25","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
