{"product_id":"sphalerite-22","title":"SPHALERITE","description":"Smallcleugh mine near the ancient mining village of Nenthead in Alston Moor, Cumbria is one of the most famous localities for well-crystallized Sphalerite in England. There is no history associated with this cabinet-sized display specimen, but it was quite likely collected during the 1980s or 1990s when this mine was extensively explored by mineral collectors. Rather than being dominated by a few large aggregated Sphalerite crystals - like some of the real old-timers - it has the lovely contrast of hundreds of well-spaced 4 to 5 mm wide glossy black individual crystals sat upon an open-textured white background. Yes, it is 'just' Sphalerite, but it is a very pretty and well-crystallized piece for this famous mining area and most of the crystals are pristine.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57781290697039,"sku":"CC42438","price":148.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3748\/2063\/files\/CC42438.jpg?v=1783985358","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.co.uk\/products\/sphalerite-22","provider":"Crystal Classics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
