{"product_id":"quartz-var-amethyst-11","title":"QUARTZ   var. Amethyst","description":"This beautiful small cabinet specimen of Hematite-included Amethyst Quartz is recorded as from Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada, but it is safe to speculate it is specifically from the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine.  The specimen forms a low domed, hedgehog-like mound of glassy, highly lustrous Quartz crystals of a good deep amethyst purple.  The chocolate brown Hematite inclusions have a preferential orientation, mainly individual spots from one direction and as a continuous film on the opposite side of the Quartz crystals.  Hence, from one side the specimen is principally purple and from the opposite side, purple tinged milk chocolate ' what a combination!  Turn the specimen over and the flat cleaved base is a purer Amethyst purple, unimpaired by Hematite.  A superb Amethyst Quartz from Thunder Bay.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781211824463,"sku":"CC28263","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC28263_8f27454a-1247-40e3-883f-2300ef975b74.jpg?v=1783981849","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/quartz-var-amethyst-11","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
