{"product_id":"smithsonite-24","title":"SMITHSONITE","description":"The Kelly mine in Socorro County, New Mexico, USA, is often described as the world's best Smithsonite locality and this first-class, museum-grade small cabinet specimen, aptly demonstrates why.  A 7 mm thick crust of lustrous and drusy, translucent rich duck egg blue-green-turquoise Smithsonite forms gently undulating globular mounds over a layer of pale turquoise blue silky Aurichalcite on altered limestone matrix.  The Smithsonite continues around one edge to underneath the specimen where it changes to a matt, earthy bright turquoise, which also appears to be Aurichalcite.  The globular habit in combination with its stunning colour and silky lustre produces a majestic specimen.  A Kelly mine Smithsonite of the highest quality that would grace any top collection, be this private or museum.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46540976193711,"sku":"CC7546","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC7546.png?v=1770221642","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/smithsonite-24","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
