{"product_id":"proustite-18","title":"PROUSTITE","description":"The Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine is a relatively modern mine in comparison to the ancient silver mines across what is known as the Ore Mountains in Saxony, Germany. Commenced after World War 2 as a large uranium mine the deposit required considerable tunneling to reach, passing through a separate deposit of tin ore and presumably also silver-bearing veins. This small miniature sized crystallized silver sulphosalt specimen from Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine is labelled as Proustite, but its dark colour and prominent resinous lustre indicate that it might well be the antimony analogue - Pyrargyrite. Specimens of any crystallized silver sulphosalts are rare from Pöhla-Tellerhäuser mine making this an unusual piece. There is some damage to a few of the crystals - some of which may well be natural etching - but at least one very nicely formed 7, to 8 mm wide crystal sits up and displays well on its creamy-white matrix.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46584810766511,"sku":"CC37142","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC37142.png?v=1771858235","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/proustite-18","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
