{"product_id":"zinkenite","title":"ZINKENITE","description":"A fine specimen of the sulphosalt Zinkenite, forming an array of acicular bladed metallic grey crystals richly aggregated over red-brown Goethite replacing Siderite crystals.  This miniature is from the Siderite lenses in the outcrops to the north of Saint-Pons village in Provence-Alpes-C'te d'Azur, France, a locality about 22 km west of the border with Italy.  Zinkenite, a lead antimony sulphide, is classed as a sulphosalt due to the presence and association of antimony (Sb) and sulphur (S).  The lath-like crystals measure up to over 1 cm and richly line a V-shaped open cavity.  Although the Zinkenite is totally stable and well anchored to the matrix, it is also delicate and friable and requires careful handling, a point to note.  This is a lovely example of Zinkenite from the Saint-Pons outcrops, enhanced by the contrasting Goethite pseudomorphs.","brand":"Crystal Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46540994642095,"sku":"CC7882","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8516\/2671\/files\/CC7882.png?v=1770222513","url":"https:\/\/crystalclassics.com\/products\/zinkenite","provider":"Crystal Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
