{"product_id":"fluorite-with-quartz-28","title":"FLUORITE with QUARTZ","description":"The Huayllapon mine is situated at Pasto Bueno in the Ancash Department of Peru.  It has produced a very limited suit of mineral species but, my word, it is certainly a case of quality, not quantity.  This large cabinet specimen is composed of a single green Fluorite crystal surrounded by several terminated, slightly milky Quartz crystals, all tending towards the gigantic!  The Fluorite is a composite single octahedral crystal, approximately 11 x 10 x 9 cm, with gently rounded convex faces built from tiny polycrystalline growths across its faces.  Its colour varies from light to deep bluish-minty sea green and has a glassy lustre, mottled by the myriad of micro-crystals.  The latter under low magnification are seen to be octahedral with a slight modification to the cuboctahedron.  The five aesthetic Quartz crystals around the Fluorite measure up to 8 cm tall and are well terminated with steep trigonal faces.  A superb large display specimen of Fluorite with Quartz from the Huayllapon mine, Peru.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545323196591,"sku":"CC26220","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC26220.png?v=1770381872","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/fluorite-with-quartz-28","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
