Rhodolite Garnet on Star Mica & Feldspar – Skardu Pakistan

Sourced from the legendary Shigar Valley region of Skardu, this 62.5ct specimen is a masterclass in mineralogical elegance. The center of attraction is a well-formed Rhodolite Garnet crystal. Unlike the typical orange Spessartines of the region, this garnet displays the sought-after "rose-red" or purplish-pink hue that defines the Rhodolite variety. The crystal features sharp faces and a deep, gemmy interior that glows when backlit.

Adding to its rarity, the garnet is perfectly positioned on a cluster of Star Mica. This specific growth habit features mica plates radiating from a central point to form a "starburst" or floral pattern, providing a shimmering, silvery backdrop. The entire assembly sits on a white Feldspar base, offering a clean and aesthetic presentation. This is a 100% natural, untreated specimen, perfect for collectors who specialize in rare garnet varieties or unique mineral associations.
