{"product_id":"malachite-48","title":"MALACHITE","description":"L'Etoile du Congo mine, or Star of Congo mine, is a long-lived copper producer in the Katanga Copper Crescent, Dem. Rep. of Congo. Worked for well over a century this rich deposit has produced some exceptional Malachite specimens in weird and wonderful sculptural forms. This large cabinet specimen from a recent find is no exception, presenting a series of parallel stalactites but which are complete all round - a remarkable floater specimen. The Malachite is less velvety and more matt than some specimens from L'Etoile du Congo mine, but this is possibly a reflection of increasing phosphate content - the paler green tips are sometimes referred to as Pseudomalachite. Its overall shape and presence is superb, really drawing in the eye. It comes with a custom-made Sunnywood acryllic display stand allowing it to stand upright at its spectacular best.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781454635343,"sku":"CC51353","price":11102.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC51353_1b98f486-0937-4bc6-b124-6a7b89c166e8.jpg?v=1783989333","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/malachite-48","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
