Garnet Specimen - Height: 56 mm - Width: 85 mm - 285 g - (1)

Natural Garnet Crystal on Feldspar Matrix – Attractive Red-Brown Crystal Specimen A natural mineral specimen featuring a prominent, lustrous red to deep reddish-brown garnet crystal prominently perched on a contrasting white to cream-coloured feldspar-rich matrix. The garnet displays distinct crystal faces, sharp edges and a strong vitreous lustre, with translucent areas revealing attractive internal colour and reflections under illumination. Its dark red-brown colour contrasts particularly well with the pale, coarse-grained feldspar matrix, giving the specimen a visually striking appearance. The specimen retains an attractive natural matrix association, with the garnet clearly exposed on the surface and well positioned for display. The combination of the dark garnet crystal and bright feldspar matrix makes this an appealing addition to a mineral collection. Minerals: Garnet with feldspar-rich matrix Colour: Deep red to reddish-brown garnet; white/cream matrix Lustre: Vitreous on garnet; pearly to vitreous on matrix minerals Transparency: Translucent to locally transparent areas in the garnet Specimen type: Natural crystal on matrix Condition: Natural specimen with minor surface irregularities and matrix imperfections consistent with a natural mineral specimen. Please note that the exact garnet variety and locality should only be stated if confirmed by provenance, locality information or analytical identification. The photographs are part of the description and show the specimen from different angles.
