Spessartine Garnet and Quartz on Albite (Lockhart Coll.)

Item Description

A 3.2 cm cluster of gorgeous, gem, cherry-red spessartine garnet crystals is aesthetically set on the edge of the 3-dimensional matrix of sharp, cream-colored albite crystals on this extremely fine combination specimen from an uncommon Pakistan locale. A string of smaller gem spessartines set on glassy, smoky quartz crystals is well-placed nearby. Pearlescent muscovite books set in a valley among the albite crystals is a fine accent. The albite crystals are up to 3.1 x 2.6 cm. Mineral specimens of any type are rare from this locale and combination specimens of this quality, exceptionally so. The gemminess, color and quality of the spessartines is outstanding for any Pakistan locale.
