{"product_id":"rutile-5","title":"RUTILE","description":"This is a phenomenal Rutile by any measure. With stunningly bright, reflective black surfaces, sharp faces, intricate growth lines and magnificent twinning this is a wonderous miniature. It is from a famous occurrence high up on Kapudzhukh Mt. (at 3,900 m above sea level) in the Zangezur Range, Azerbaijan. Reputedly, this material came from two mining seasons in the snow-capped mountains during the late 1990s. The longest crystal is 1.5 cm in length with the twin spanning 2 cm in width. There is some cracking evident under magnification, but this is likely to be natural tectonic fracturing as Rutile is a very stable mineral geochemically. Small prismatic Quartz crystals occur in association. Ex Hans Engelbrecht collection, no. 5762, acquired by him in 2002.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781027635535,"sku":"CC19662","price":370.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC19662_c6696b74-a488-49a5-8cb7-2e150c5c08fe.jpg?v=1783976970","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/rutile-5","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
