Magnificent specimen of several tightly clustered Spessartine Garnet crystals on Muscovite from Pakistan. This piece has a nice contrast of color, with the rich, pomegranate red garnets perched on silvery metallic Muscovite and white Albite crystals. The crystallization of the Muscovite with the lustrous Garnets makes this thumbnail visually impactful.
