{"product_id":"stichtite-raw-purple-stichtite-with-45291","title":"Stichtite | raw purple stichtite with serpentine, mineral specimen from South Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple stichtite is a rare chromium-bearing carbonate mineral best known from deposits in South Africa, where it commonly occurs intergrown with green serpentine. This striking color contrast forms when stichtite develops as a secondary mineral during the alteration of ultramafic rocks. The vivid purple hues are caused by trace chromium, while the surrounding serpentine reflects the host rock’s magnesium-rich composition. Often found in massive or fibrous aggregates rather than distinct crystals, South African stichtite is prized for its dramatic natural coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 7 x 4.5 Cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 70g\u003cbr\u003e\n( Conversion: 1 inch = 2.5 Cm )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Barberton District, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this is a natural product, sometimes stones and crystals have small imperfections and blemishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure to double check measurements and view all the photos before making a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy purchasing from Spirit Nectar you agree to comply with all of our shop policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal will be shipped with protective padding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spirit Nectar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52671512379759,"sku":"RAW stichtite- 2","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/7913\/7135\/files\/il_fullxfull.7752519855_17c6.jpg?v=1770995545","url":"https:\/\/www.spiritnectar.com\/products\/stichtite-raw-purple-stichtite-with-45291","provider":"Spirit Nectar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
