Spessartine Garnet Crystal on Muscovite Mica – Skardu Thumbnail

Sourced from the prestigious mining districts of Skardu, Pakistan, this 3.5ct specimen features a well-formed Spessartine Garnet crystal. Spessartine is highly sought after for its unique iron-manganese chemistry, which results in bright, fiery orange to deep reddish-orange tones.

The garnet is aesthetically positioned on a shimmering matrix of Muscovite Mica. The silvery, tabular plates of the mica act as a natural reflector, enhancing the garnet’s vitreous luster and saturated color. This is a 100% natural and untreated thumbnail specimen, perfect for collectors who curate high-quality miniatures with exceptional color contrast.
