Sourced from the prestigious Shigar Valley, this 105ct specimen is a standout for collectors who prize "association pieces." The centerpiece consists of gemmy Rhodolite Garnet crystals. Unlike the more common orange spessartines of the region, these garnets display a sought-after rose-red to purplish-pink hue. The crystals are well-formed with sharp faces and a high-vitreous luster that captures light beautifully.
Adding a bold, structural element to the specimen are prismatic needles of Schorl Tourmaline. These jet-black crystals provide a deep, light-absorbing contrast to the colorful garnets. The entire group is naturally anchored to a base of Quartz, which provides a clean, translucent foundation. This 100% natural, untreated specimen offers a rare glimpse into the complex mineral diversity found within a single Himalayan gem pocket.
