{"product_id":"maucherite-1","title":"MAUCHERITE","description":"Maucherite is an extremely rare nickel arsenide and this magnificent, crystallised miniature is from its type locality at Eisleben in the Mansfeld Basin of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.  Covering a 4 mm thick matrix plate of milky and pale pink Quartz is a layer of massive crystalline Maucherite which tapers from 1 cm down to 1 mm thick, displaying its characteristic metallic reddish sliver-white colour.  Across the top of the specimen a roughly 4 x 2 cm area is coated with splendid stellate bursts of prismatic, platy crystals of Maucherite, each rosette having a basic hexagonal geometry, then overlayered with more vertically aligned Maucherite prisms that make an overall complex network of interconnected crystals and rosettes.  This is a museum-grade specimen of Maucherite from its type locality in Eisleben and is accompanied with two old labels from previous collections.  One is written in wonderful old German-style script from the private collection of Fr. Ritter of Hildesheim and is ex. the Dr Josef Clemente Collection.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545292820655,"sku":"CC21190","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC21190.png?v=1770378585","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/maucherite-1","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
