{"product_id":"hematite-3","title":"HEMATITE","description":"Specularite, the black tabular crystalline variety of Hematite, is an iconic mineral from the iron mines of West Cumbria in northwest England.  This magnificent large cabinet specimen is composed of a roughly 14 x 8 cm plate of Hematite with its upper display surface completely encrusted with jet-black blades of Specular Hematite to about 0.8 cm wide.  The entire matrix plate is only 5 mm thick which provides a delicacy to the specimen's aesthetic while remaining strong and robust.  As with most Specularite the crystals have a brilliant lustre which create a sparkling effect and embedded amongst these are about five greyish to milky Quartz crystals, all double terminated and translucent, the largest to 1.7 cm across.  Do note a few of the Specularite blades are slightly bruised, but these are peripheral to the specimen and are hardly noticeable when displayed.  A terrific Cumbrian Specular Hematite with well crystallised Quartz.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46543055356079,"sku":"CC13306","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC13306.png?v=1770305499","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/hematite-3","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
