{"product_id":"elbaite-with-lepidolite-tourmaline-1","title":"ELBAITE  with Lepidolite    Tourmaline","description":"Another yet rather different large miniature Elbaite Tourmaline from a pocket discovered in the Coronel Murta pegmatite in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais; an area known the world over for its magnificent gem minerals.  This single, ex. matrix Elbaite crystal measures 6.8 cm tall with its base encircled aby a near continuous riband of pale lilac Lepidolite mica crystals, so characteristic of this lithium-rich pegmatite.  The Elbaite prism grades from opaque, inky bluish deep sea green through translucent to transparent sea green and terminating with a banded red and pale pink cap.  This latter zone cycles from a narrow, cherry red pinacoid to a broader pale pink band, followed by a repetition of this same sequence.  What a amazing miracle of nature Tourmaline is, as exemplified in this gorgeous specimen from the Coronel Murta mining district","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781174501711,"sku":"CC26683","price":5551.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC26683_b5743bdf-5789-402a-a23e-ea4f5c3d2f70.jpg?v=1783980501","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/elbaite-with-lepidolite-tourmaline-1","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
