{"product_id":"serpentine-crystal-mushroom-zimbabwe-1","title":"Serpentine Crystal Mushroom | Zimbabwe","description":"\u003cp\u003eSerpentine crystal mushroom, hand-carved in Zimbabwe from Mashonaland Central serpentine, standing 7.04 inches tall on a 3.40 inch cap and weighing 2.30 pounds. This is a single piece and the exact mushroom photographed is the one supplied. The tallest of the group, slender through the stem with mottled green and olive marbling across the cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerpentine is a magnesium silicate that forms where water alters olivine-rich rock deep in the crust. The Great Dyke runs through Mashonaland Central in northern Zimbabwe, and the country's stone-carving tradition is built almost entirely on that material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Mohs 3 to 5 serpentine is soft, which is exactly why carvers favour it and why it wants a shelf rather than a pocket. This piece came to us through an existing collection rather than new extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51285540798500,"sku":"IND-SRP-MSH-0001","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/polished_crystal_mushrooms_0360-5980_serpentine_specimen_1_2506e7e7-c27b-46c5-9e6e-1ef7a9a932a5.jpg?v=1787160470","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/serpentine-crystal-mushroom-zimbabwe-1","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
