{"product_id":"fluorite-with-sphalerite-and-pyrite-inclusions","title":"FLUORITE with SPHALERITE  and PYRITE inclusions","description":"This cabinet specimen of Fluorite with Sphalerite and Pyrite inclusions could be from no where else but Ladywash mine close to Eyam in Derbyshire, England.  Eyam is a beautiful village which should be visited if you are visiting Derbyshire and I can recommend many a nice pub or tea room!  It is still known as 'the plague village' following an outbreak in 1665 when at least 270 of its 350-population died.  But we collectors also love Eyam for its surrounding mines and Ladywash is its most famous.   A roughly 12 x 7 cm plate of greyish yellow Fluorite crystals form an intergrown bed of cubic crystals averaging 1 to 1.5 cm on edge, all heavily included with micro-crystals of Pyrite. On top of the Fluorite are two composite crystals of back Sphalerite, the larger 2.2 x 2.0 x 1.0 cm.  This specimen is accompanied with an unprovenanced old(ish) label, probably from the 1970s, with recorded yet unrecognised initials.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781146648911,"sku":"CC21819","price":222.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC21819_7e1b444a-b9a0-45a5-8ff8-883adaa136cb.jpg?v=1783979668","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/fluorite-with-sphalerite-and-pyrite-inclusions","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
