{"product_id":"malachite-66","title":"MALACHITE","description":"A long, thin, antenna-like Malachite stalactite from the famous Star of Congo mine in the Katanga Copper Crescent, DR Congo. Mined since 1907, this is one of the longest-lived copper and cobalt mining operations in the country. This stalactite displays a thin, hollow core at its base, with the Malachite developed radially outwards. The stalactite has an almost insect-like antenna appearance, curved, with horizontal ridges like segments all the way up its length with a very slightly swollen tip. It is 1 cm in diameter at its thinnest up to 1.5 cm near the base. Externally, the Malachite varies between mid-green with a matt appearance to darker green with a sparkly lustre, reminiscent of glitter. There is some minor scuffing to the surfaces, but the form of this stalactite is very nice.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781430845775,"sku":"CC50866","price":296.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC50866.jpg?v=1783989239","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/malachite-66","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
