{"product_id":"hematite-on-quartz-1","title":"HEMATITE on QUARTZ","description":"Wheal Cock was part of the Botallack mine sett and is the type locality for Botallackite.  The surface workings are perched on the cliff tops overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, about 6 km northwest of the village of Botallack.  Wheal Cock has 48 recorded mineral species and this excellent miniature Quartz crystal, richly coated in lustrous black Hematite crystals, is a fine example of both species.  A typically Cornish looking specimen, it exudes the appearance of minerals from this part of the rugged coastline.  Measuring 5.2 x 3.1 x 2.7 cm, the translucent to opaque Quartz crystal stands vertically mounted on a square acrylic base.  Relatively thick-set, black metallic Hematite crystals of the variety Specularite richly coat two of the Quartz's six prism faces and contrast against the surface coating of dark mustard tan limonite.  A showy miniature from Wheal Cock.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781126431055,"sku":"CC20324","price":370.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC20324_e54e787a-8e1e-4296-abce-0a03c1b7209e.jpg?v=1783978024","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/hematite-on-quartz-1","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
