{"product_id":"elbaite-tourmaline-with-quartz-and-hyalite","title":"ELBAITE - Tourmaline   with QUARTZ  and HYALITE","description":"A complex large miniature of intersecting pink Elbaite Tourmaline crystals with the tallest crystal capped with a ball of opaque snow-white Quartz crystals overgrown with Hyalite.  The specimen is from a recently discovered gem Tourmaline pocket found in the mining district of Coronel Murta in Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The specimen sits upright on its horizontally-cleaved base and displays several Elbaite crystal sections in graded shades of bubble gum, candy, rose pink and cerise-raspberry red.  The tallest Elbaite crystal is about 4 cm, but the top is masked by a roughly spherical cluster of parallel-aligned and double terminated small white Quartz crystals, each 2 to 4 mm long.  They are loosely packed, but well cemented by a pervading overgrowth of Hyalite, a colourless variety of Opal which forms globular structures over the Quartz.  The Hyalite has a vitreous lustre, although where it forms both colourless and golden-honey micro-spheres along the base of the specimen, it is glassy and lustrous.  A fabulous Elbaite with Quartz and Hyalite from Coronel Murta, Brazil.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781131805007,"sku":"CC20781","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC20781_930997fd-ee6f-43d9-a5ec-1518dd9e394d.jpg?v=1783978679","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/elbaite-tourmaline-with-quartz-and-hyalite","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
