{"title":"Slices","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrystal slices are polished mineral cross-sections created to reveal internal banding, color zoning, and structural formation in a flat viewing format. This collection features slices cut from natural crystal material to expose growth patterns, inclusions, and internal layering that are often hidden in raw or fully polished forms. Slices provide a direct view of a mineral’s internal structure with strong visual clarity and natural pattern definition.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"28g-laguna-agate-slice-druzy-ojo-laguna-60mm","title":"28 g Laguna Agate Slice with Druzy – Ojo Laguna, Mexico – 60 mm","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"756\"\u003eThis Laguna agate slice from the Ojo Laguna locality in Mexico displays tightly layered fortification banding arranged in warm honey gold, burnt sienna, dusty rose, and soft lavender-gray tones.
