Almandine Garnet & Black Tourmaline on Quartz – Pakistan

Sourced from the prestigious mines of Skardu, this 66.2ct specimen showcases a sophisticated three-mineral association. The Almandine Garnets are the focal point, displaying a saturated, burgundy-to-red color and sharp crystal habits. These garnets are known for their dense, "earthy" beauty and high-vitreous luster.

Interspersed with the garnets are prismatic crystals of Black Tourmaline, adding a sharp, linear element to the piece. The jet-black prisms provide a bold architectural contrast to the rounded garnet forms. The entire cluster is naturally anchored to a translucent Quartz base, which allows light to pass through and illuminate the garnets from beneath. Measuring 30mm, this is a perfectly sized "small cabinet" or large thumbnail piece that offers a complex, multi-textured display.
