{"product_id":"apatite-ziller-valley-austria","title":"Apatite - Zillertal, Austria","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exquisite example of a classic, high-alpine mineral combination from the Zillertal Alps. Its special feature is the presence of two superbly formed, tabular apatite crystals, the largest of which reaches impressive 1,0 cm in size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile apatites worldwide often occur with intense colors and in the common columnar form, the coveted finds from the Zillertal Alps are distinguished by a particularly refined aesthetic: They are renowned for their water-clear to snow-white, flat-tabular habit. This colorlessness and transparency are not flaws, but rather the hallmark of absolute chemical purity during crystal growth. Among connoisseurs, these flawless, \"ice-like\" crystals are highly prized precisely for their elegant refinement and rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two crystals are excellently positioned on the matrix and exhibit a brilliant vitreous luster on their undamaged surfaces. They sit on a contrasting bed of fine, white feldspar crystals (likely albite\/pericline) interspersed with dark green chlorite. This interplay perfectly highlights the two white apatites. A first-class, aesthetically pleasing collector's item from one of the most traditional mineral-hunting regions in the Alps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4.5 x 3.8 x 2.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocality: Zillertal, Schwaz District, Tyrol, Austria\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mindat.org\/loc-269.html\" style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(255, 51, 153); font-family: 'Noto Sans', 'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WLM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58209015988564,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/2291\/1572\/files\/20261107_212939-Photoroom.jpg?v=1794152350","url":"https:\/\/weloveminerals.de\/en\/products\/apatite-ziller-valley-austria","provider":"weloveminerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
