Etched Rhodolite Garnet Crystal on Muscovite Mica – Skardu Pakistan

Sourced from the high-altitude pegmatites of Skardu, Pakistan, this 49ct specimen features a vibrant Rhodolite Garnet crystal. Distinguished by its "raspberry" or purplish-red color, this Rhodolite stands out from more common red garnets.

The crystal displays fascinating natural etching, a result of geological fluids sculpting the surface over millions of years. This process has created an intricate, rugged topography on the crystal faces that contrasts beautifully with the metallic, mirror-like plates of the Muscovite Mica matrix. This is a 100% natural, untreated piece that perfectly captures the complex mineral chemistry of the Karakoram Range.
