Rhodolite Garnet on Muscovite Mica – Pakistan Thumbnail

Sourced from the mineral-rich pegmatites of Skardu, this 5.1ct specimen is a prize for collectors of thumbnail minerals. The Rhodolite Garnets display a sophisticated "rose-red" or raspberry-pink color, a variety that is significantly rarer in this region than the common orange spessartines. These crystals exhibit sharp faces and a high-vitreous luster, glowing with a deep pinkish-red light when viewed under magnification.

The garnets are naturally presented on a matrix of silvery Muscovite (Mica). The mica plates are semi-transparent and highly reflective, creating a "shimmer" effect that provides a beautiful, metallic contrast to the deep saturation of the garnets. At 23mm in length, this piece is the ideal size for a high-end "perky box" or specialized thumbnail collection display.
