{"product_id":"epidote-with-axinite-mn-and-quartz-1","title":"EPIDOTE with AXINITE-(Mn) and QUARTZ","description":"Discovered in about 2015, a mountainside exposure in Canta District, Canta Province, Peru briefly produced interesting fibrous, to needle-like green Epidote crystals in sprays associated with brown bladed Axinite-(Mn) crystals, but nothing more was seen until recently. Nearly a decade after that initial find and the aesthetic quality of specimens has improved dramatically. This fine, cabinet-sized display specimen shows how the bar has been raised, with magnificent, fan-like radiating sprays of needle-like pistachio-green Epidote crystals, reaching 2.5 cm in length, splaying off in many directions, and intergrown with well-formed sharp, bladed, brown Axinite-(Mn) crystals, to 1 cm in length. Free-standing acicular Epidote crystal sprays like these are rarely seen anywhere in the world, making this an important display-worthy crystallized Epidote and the addition of Axinite-(Mn) compliments it wonderfully.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46763600183471,"sku":"CC46724","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC46724.png?v=1776095843","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/epidote-with-axinite-mn-and-quartz-1","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
