{"product_id":"petroleum-included-garden-quartz-sphere-brazil","title":"Petroleum Included Garden Quartz Sphere, Brazil","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA remarkable petroleum-included garden quartz sphere from Brazil that holds an entire landscape inside: a hazy green-grey orb of chlorite hangs like a sun over rugged ridges of deep red-brown iron minerals, with drifts of cream, gold, and rose filling the valley between. Wisps of golden rutile and misty veils give the scene atmosphere, and the polished sphere acts as a lens, shifting the view with every turn. Then the hidden feature — under UV light, the trapped petroleum inclusions glow an electric blue, transforming the piece entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGarden quartz, or lodolite, forms in Brazil's hydrothermal veins when minerals like chlorite, feldspar, and iron oxides settle on a growing quartz crystal and are then sealed inside by later growth, preserving each layer as a suspended scene. Petroleum quartz adds another chapter: droplets of natural crude oil and hydrocarbons became trapped in tiny cavities as the crystal formed, and it's these fluids that fluoresce vivid blue under longwave UV. Finding both in one sphere: a scenic garden and glowing petroleum makes this an unusual crossover piece for collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGarden quartz is known as a stone of meditation and inner journeying, its miniature worlds used as a focus for visualization and manifestation. The petroleum inclusions add associations with transformation and hidden light. What looks earthbound by day glows by night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the exact sphere photographed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMineral: Quartz with chlorite, iron oxide, and petroleum inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: approx. 2.5 in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 360 g (12.7 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Polished sphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSpecial feature: Petroleum inclusions fluoresce blue under longwave UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Natural inclusions and veils consistent with formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327136936148,"sku":null,"price":231.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/39D8E646-5ED0-4A3E-9880-451A172C3B93_1_102_a.jpg?v=1784428630","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/petroleum-included-garden-quartz-sphere-brazil","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
