Spessartine Garnet Cluster on Feldspar – Skardu Pakistan

Sourced from the high-altitude mines of Skardu, this 237g specimen showcases the intense orange-to-deep-red hues of Spessartine Garnet. The crystals exhibit a sharp, complex habit with a high-vitreous, almost mirror-like luster. Many of the garnets show intricate, natural stepped growth patterns and "etching," which add a fascinating architectural layer to the piece.

The garnets are naturally clustered on a bed of snowy Feldspar. The brilliant white of the matrix serves as a perfect pedestal, making the "Mandarin" orange of the garnets glow when placed under display lighting. Measuring over 7cm, this is a substantial cabinet-sized specimen with a strong visual appeal, ideal for collectors of fine garnets or high-end Pakistani mineral associations.
