Item Description

A very attractive large thumbnail / toenail sized piece from an unknown locality in the Shigar District of Pakistan featuring a fine quality, sharp, well-formed, trapezohedron (with minor dodecahedral modifications) of rich orange-red Spessartine Garnet, measuring 1.3 cm, beautifully nestled among bladed, golden Muscovite crystals. The Garnet is in very good condition and is positioned at just the right spot among the Muscovite crystals. The crystal is actually a bit gemmy when backlit, and the color really comes out under good lighting. An eye-catching and aesthetic little display specimen for any fan of worldwide Garnets or pegmatite minerals.
