Presenting a stunning and intricate small cabinet specimen, weighing a precise 63 Carats (approximately 12.6 Grams). This piece showcases a highly sought-after, natural association of three distinct minerals from the world-famous pegmatite deposits of Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
This complex mineral specimen is prized by collectors for its aesthetic and geological significance:
-
Andradite Garnet: Features sharp, lustrous crystals of Andradite, a calcium-iron garnet, often displaying dark, rich colors.
-
Vesuvianite (Idocrase): Features associated prismatic crystals, typically in pleasing shades of green or brown.
-
Magnetite: The presence of dark, metallic Magnetite crystals provides a striking contrast and a strong magnetic element to the cluster.
The rich variety of colors and crystal habits—from the sharp Garnet and Vesuvianite to the metallic Magnetite—creates a highly aesthetic display piece. This 63-carat specimen is a perfect example of the diverse mineralogy found in the Skardu region.
