{"product_id":"quartz-var-amethyst-11","title":"QUARTZ   var. Amethyst","description":"This beautiful small cabinet specimen of Hematite-included Amethyst Quartz is recorded as from Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada, but it is safe to speculate it is specifically from the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine.  The specimen forms a low domed, hedgehog-like mound of glassy, highly lustrous Quartz crystals of a good deep amethyst purple.  The chocolate brown Hematite inclusions have a preferential orientation, mainly individual spots from one direction and as a continuous film on the opposite side of the Quartz crystals.  Hence, from one side the specimen is principally purple and from the opposite side, purple tinged milk chocolate ' what a combination!  Turn the specimen over and the flat cleaved base is a purer Amethyst purple, unimpaired by Hematite.  A superb Amethyst Quartz from Thunder Bay.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545410785455,"sku":"CC28263","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC28263.png?v=1770389899","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/quartz-var-amethyst-11","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
