Sourced from the legendary Shigar Valley, this 33.3g specimen is a centerpiece-quality example of the Rhodolite variety. The garnet crystal displays the highly sought-after "raspberry-red" or purplish-pink hue that distinguishes it from common red garnets. The crystal is well-proportioned, featuring sharp dodecahedral faces and a deep, gemmy interior that radiates a warm glow when placed under direct light.
The garnet is perfectly situated on a dense, shimmering bed of Mica (Muscovite). The mica plates provide a bright, silvery contrast and a metallic luster that serves as a natural spotlight for the deep saturation of the garnet. Measuring 40mm at its widest point, this specimen bridges the gap between a large thumbnail and a small cabinet piece, offering a 3D presentation that looks impressive from every angle.
