Exceptional Natural Spessartite Garnet Crystal Specimen – 115 g – Skardu, Pakistan

An exceptional natural Spessartite Garnet crystal specimen from the Skardu mines, Gilgit, Pakistan, weighing 115 grams and measuring 78 × 52 × 17 mm. This attractive specimen features numerous garnet crystals distributed across the entire front surface, creating a rich and distinctive natural crystal formation.

The crystals display a beautiful natural honey-orange to brownish-orange colour, with naturally developed crystal faces, well-defined facets, natural terminations, and excellent lustre. Their varied shapes and sizes create an appealing texture across the white matrix, while the transparent appearance of the crystals enhances the specimen's visual character and allows light to interact beautifully with their natural crystal faces.

The reverse side is naturally white and free of garnet crystals, providing an interesting contrast to the richly mineralised front. Its distinctive shape, extensive crystal coverage, and attractive colour combination make this specimen particularly appealing to mineral collectors.

The specimen is self-standable, making it suitable for display in a mineral cabinet, private collection, or exhibition. A fine collector's piece for anyone who appreciates natural Spessartite Garnet specimens from Pakistan.
