Rhodolite Garnet on Muscovite Mica – Pakistan Thumbnail

Sourced from the mineral-rich pockets of the Karakoram, this 2ct specimen is a prize for the discerning thumbnail collector. The Rhodolite Garnets display the sophisticated "raspberry-red" or purplish-pink color that sets them apart from the more common orange garnets found in this region. Despite their delicate size, the crystals exhibit sharp faces and a high-vitreous luster that glows with a saturated pinkish-red hue when held to the light.

The garnets are naturally situated on a base of silvery Muscovite (Mica). The mica plates are highly reflective and semi-transparent, providing a metallic, shimmering backdrop that enhances the garnet's vivid color. Measuring 16mm in length, this piece is the quintessential thumbnail specimen—compact, 100% natural, and highly aesthetic.
