Marvelous specimen of Garnet var. Spessartine crystals attractively growing on Muscovite with Quartz from Shigar Valley, Pakistan. On well shaped and shiny Muscovite are nestled Spessartine crystals to 9mm. The bright background underlines them very well. The Spessartines have perfect trapezohedral shape. They are well formed and isolated. They are sharp, highly lustrous, with tremendous deep wine red color. The crystals are gem. Some Quartz crystals are seen too. In very good condition – some natural imperfections and contacts towards the base part. On acrylic base.

Pretty!
