{"product_id":"vanadian-uvite-tourmaline","title":"Vanadian UVITE TOURMALINE","description":"A spectacular double terminated crystal of Uvite, a chrome-rich member of the Tourmaline Group and in the case of this specimen, also with a high vanadium content.  The primary crystal measures approximately 3.4 cm long (between terminations) and 4.4 x 3.4 cm in cross-section.  Attached to this at one side and in parallel growth, is a smaller incomplete Uvite crystal.  From the pegmatites of the Merelani Hills in the Lelatema Mountains of Tanzania, this fine crystal is generally a very dark bottle-green, appearing almost black, but with numerous zones and patches of mottled mid-leaf-green Uvite.  All prism and termination faces have a high lustre.  A little natural damage is to be seen on the odd edge, but this is typical for such specimens and does not detract.  A magnificent Vanadian Uvite Tourmaline from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46545141760175,"sku":"CC17355","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC17355.png?v=1770373178","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/vanadian-uvite-tourmaline","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
