Item Description
Textbook dodecahedral, gemmy and lustrous, deep cherry-red, spessartine garnets to 1.2 cm are aesthetically clustered on the sculptural, starkly contrasting crystallized albite matrix on this showy, highly representative specimen from recent finds in Pakistan. The gemmy quality and color of these garnets is definitely a step above the average for the locale.
