{"product_id":"lazurite","title":"LAZURITE","description":"Without doubt, this fantastic inky azure-blue group of Lazurite crystals is a museum-grade specimen and is from the classic locality of Sar-e Sang, a mineralised marble-skarn deposit near to the confluence of the Sar-e-Sang and Koksha Rivers in Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan.  The beautifully developed Lazurite crystals measure up to 3 cm at their widest points and form both flattened and barrel-shaped prisms with hexagonal pinacoid terminations.  Their colour is an exquisite mid-azure-blue with a micro-granular surface texture and aesthetic, velvety-matt lustre.  The Lazurite crystals sit on a matrix of blue-tinged creamy-white micro blades of Albite feldspar, mixed with a few small nodules of golden Pyrite.  A quite gorgeous Lazurite from Sar-e Sang.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781512536399,"sku":"CC8132","price":3331.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC8132_4e8441eb-7dae-4260-9b7a-2520563a1a80.jpg?v=1783992327","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/lazurite","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
