Etched Almandine Garnet Crystal on Feldspar – Skardu Pakistan

Sourced from the high-altitude mines of Skardu, Pakistan, this 84ct specimen features a substantial Almandine Garnet crystal perched on a pristine Feldspar matrix. This garnet is characterized by its deep, classic wine-red tones and a fascinating "etched" surface.

The natural etching—caused by geological fluids during the crystal's formation—has carved intricate geometric patterns into the garnet’s faces, creating a "sculpted" look that distinguishes it from common smooth-faced specimens. The contrast between the dark, textured garnet and the blocky, white feldspar makes this a standout piece for any display cabinet.
