{"product_id":"smithsonite-24","title":"SMITHSONITE","description":"The Kelly mine in Socorro County, New Mexico, USA, is often described as the world's best Smithsonite locality and this first-class, museum-grade small cabinet specimen, aptly demonstrates why.  A 7 mm thick crust of lustrous and drusy, translucent rich duck egg blue-green-turquoise Smithsonite forms gently undulating globular mounds over a layer of pale turquoise blue silky Aurichalcite on altered limestone matrix.  The Smithsonite continues around one edge to underneath the specimen where it changes to a matt, earthy bright turquoise, which also appears to be Aurichalcite.  The globular habit in combination with its stunning colour and silky lustre produces a majestic specimen.  A Kelly mine Smithsonite of the highest quality that would grace any top collection, be this private or museum.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781504868687,"sku":"CC7546","price":6291.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC7546_3c34a4f2-83fb-4f4b-b527-cac957417cf2.jpg?v=1783991883","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/smithsonite-24","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
