Superb specimen of two gem Hessonite Garnet crystals growing one atop another from Mana Mine, Pakistan. Remarkably the quality rivals with the Garnets from the famous Jeffrey mine, Quebec, Canada. The crystals are up to 14mm, extremely transparent, gem quality with superb luster and rich orange color. The Hessonite is glassy clear. They have sharp trapezohedral habit. Some inclusions are seen inside. Complete all over 360 degree. Some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous jewel!
