| Mineral | Rhodolite Garnet on Muscovite |

| Dimension | 16 x 11 x 5 mm |
| Colour | Purplish-Pink and Silvery-White |

Sourced from the mineral-rich pegmatites of the Shigar Valley, this 3.85ct specimen is a quintessential thumbnail for the discerning collector. The Rhodolite Garnet crystal displays a beautiful, saturated purplish-pink color, a variety prized for its unique "raspberry" hue that differs significantly from standard red or orange garnets. The crystal exhibits sharp faces and a high-vitreous luster that glows with a deep pinkish-red light when viewed under direct illumination.
The garnet is naturally situated on a thin, plate-like base of silvery Muscovite (Mica). The mica provides a brilliant, metallic contrast, acting as a natural reflector that enhances the garnet's internal fire. Measuring 16mm in length, this piece is the ideal size for a standard "perky box," offering a 100% natural and unpolished look at the classic mineral associations of northern Pakistan.
