Rhodolite Garnet Crystals on Feldspar – Skardu Thumbnail

Directly from the high-altitude mines of the Karakoram, this 3.2ct specimen highlights the beauty of the Rhodolite variety. Unlike the typical orange Spessartines of the region, these garnets exhibit a sophisticated "rose-red" or purplish-pink hue. The crystals are sharp and gemmy, boasting a vitreous luster that makes them sparkle brilliantly under standard display lighting.

The garnets are naturally anchored to a thin, snowy-white Feldspar matrix. At just 4mm thick, the matrix acts as a sleek, organic pedestal that doesn't distract from the vibrant color of the garnets. This is a 100% natural, untreated thumbnail specimen, ideal for a "perky box" display or for those specializing in the diverse garnet varieties of Pakistan.
