{"product_id":"linarite-with-leadhillite-and-caledonite","title":"LINARITE with LEADHILLITE  and CALEDONITE","description":"This small cabinet specimen, bristling with various mineral species from the famous and classic Red Gill mine at Roughton Gill in the Caldbeck Fells of Cumbria, England, will cause many a collector to picture walking in along Roughton Gill and then climbing up to the mine for a good day's collecting.  Collecting has long since been strictly banned at this site, although special permission may be gained if applied for with a good scientific purpose.  As clearly shown in the images, a highly porous, honeycombed matrix of gossan veinstone Quartz has been split open to reveal a rich assemblage of Linarite (deep blue) with Leadhillite (colourless and lustrous\/reflective) and Caledonite (blue-green).  Several well developed Linarite crystals are also present nestled withing the network of vugs.  On one outer face the iron stained Quartz is richly coated with micro-spheres of yellow-green Pyromorphite.  This specimen is accompanied by a very old, unprovenanced label, early to mid 1800s I would estimate.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781204091215,"sku":"CC28061","price":629.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC28061_51630f27-56c0-4eba-9e98-603e563d09de.jpg?v=1783981704","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/linarite-with-leadhillite-and-caledonite","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
