AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Visual presentation
Magnificent spessartite garnet from Pakistan, with a deep, vibrant orange. This crystal, of great clarity, reveals a glassy brilliance and subtle golden reflections under light. Its clear shape demonstrates complete and natural crystallization, typical of high-quality spessartites from this mountainous region.
Technical specifications
Total weight: 1.22 carats.
Dimensions: 6.0 × 5.0 × 4.2 mm
Origin: Pakistan
Intense orange, slightly golden.
Aspect: Raw translucent crystal with vitreous luster.
Remarkable points
Recognized origin: Pakistani spessartites are renowned for the purity and richness of their color, comparable to the most prized deposits in the world.
Complete crystallization: a clear and well-defined shape, presenting intact natural edges.
Uniform color: Saturated and consistent orange hue, with no visible zoning.
Remarkable geological formation: Resulting from a manganese-rich metamorphic environment, the element responsible for its characteristic hue.
Context and interest for collection
This specimen perfectly illustrates the gemstone quality that spessartites from Pakistan can achieve. Its transparency and vivid color make it a reference stone for study or presentation in a mineralogical collection.
Conclusion
A refined and luminous spessartite crystal, combining color intensity, balanced geometric structure, and prestigious origin — a precious piece for any specialized collection.
