{"product_id":"elbaite-tourmaline-with-quartz-and-hyalite","title":"ELBAITE - Tourmaline   with QUARTZ  and HYALITE","description":"A complex large miniature of intersecting pink Elbaite Tourmaline crystals with the tallest crystal capped with a ball of opaque snow-white Quartz crystals overgrown with Hyalite.  The specimen is from a recently discovered gem Tourmaline pocket found in the mining district of Coronel Murta in Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The specimen sits upright on its horizontally-cleaved base and displays several Elbaite crystal sections in graded shades of bubble gum, candy, rose pink and cerise-raspberry red.  The tallest Elbaite crystal is about 4 cm, but the top is masked by a roughly spherical cluster of parallel-aligned and double terminated small white Quartz crystals, each 2 to 4 mm long.  They are loosely packed, but well cemented by a pervading overgrowth of Hyalite, a colourless variety of Opal which forms globular structures over the Quartz.  The Hyalite has a vitreous lustre, although where it forms both colourless and golden-honey micro-spheres along the base of the specimen, it is glassy and lustrous.  A fabulous Elbaite with Quartz and Hyalite from Coronel Murta, Brazil.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545288429743,"sku":"CC20781","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC20781.png?v=1770378217","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/elbaite-tourmaline-with-quartz-and-hyalite","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
