{"product_id":"elbaite-tourmaline-30","title":"ELBAITE   Tourmaline","description":"An asymmetric pair of terminated pink Elbaite Tourmaline crystals stand vertically on a small clear acrylic base to make a most attractive small miniature from a recently discovered gem Tourmaline pocket found in the mining district of Coronel Murta in Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The two prisms are attached is sub-parallel alignment along mutual prism faces with the large crystal standing 3.7 cm tall while the smaller is 2.1 cm.  The bigger crystal has a core of rosy-magenta surrounded by paler and more gemmy rose grading to a 5 mm thick, almost colourless band-tinted delicate pink beneath the 2 mm deep cerise-pink termination. The small crystal is similar, but its pinkish colourless zone spans 8 mm.  .  This specimen has undergone one repair following a breakage during tectonic disturbance while in-situ, a common tendency with Tourmaline pockets. The repair has been done by experts in crystal repair, rendering the break almost invisible.  On the back, where the two prisms join, is a 5 x 5 mm cluster of translucent milky-white Quartz crystals.  A superb pair of Elbaite crystals from Coronel Murta, Brazil.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781132165455,"sku":"CC20799","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC20799_b8d89c89-0231-4497-a3af-11743e380f73.jpg?v=1783978696","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/elbaite-tourmaline-30","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
