{"product_id":"elbaite-on-quartz-1","title":"ELBAITE on QUARTZ","description":"\u003cp\u003eAricanga mine at São José da Safira in Minas Gerais state, Brazil has recently produced some exceptional 'rocket'-shaped Elbaite tourmaline crystals, most of which are loose crystals free from matrix. These show an upper prism with typical 'tourmaline' striated sides but with a narrower naturally etched base, making a sceptre-like form. This unusual piece shows the association with other species perfectly, and how the 5.8 cm tall 'rocket' rises up from a sliver of a crystal of Smoky Quartz. The upper termination on the tourmaline is very distinctive, with a highly pronounced steeply angled three-sided pyramid. The main colour of this Elbaite is a bottle-green, but it has an internal glow from a deep cerise core. This specimen comes with a custom-made acryllic Sunnywood display stand. The specimen has one recorded repair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781479342415,"sku":"CC56758","price":6661.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC56758_82504961-da65-4647-a00c-f6fa595714d3.jpg?v=1783990647","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/elbaite-on-quartz-1","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
