This vibrant specimen features a dense scattering of pink to deep red garnet crystals naturally embedded on a pale, granular matrix. The garnets range from soft rose and raspberry tones to richer wine-red hues, creating a beautifully mottled color field across the surface. Individual crystals show sharp edges and natural crystal faces that catch the light with magnificent shine.
The contrast between the saturated garnet crystals and the light-colored host rock gives the piece strong visual texture and depth, making it immediately engaging both up close and at display distance.
Dimensions: 4.24” x 4” x 1.25”
Weight: 353g
Garnet is often associated with vitality, grounding, and passion. Many collectors are drawn to pink and red garnets for their energizing color and strong visual presence.
Pink and red garnet clusters like this are especially appealing to collectors who value color zoning, crystal abundance, and matrix context over isolated, standalone crystals. The mix of hues suggests natural compositional variation during growth rather than treatment, which adds geological integrity. This specimen works well as a cabinet piece, teaching specimen, or as part of a broader garnet or metamorphic mineral collection.
Natural pink and red garnet crystal cluster
High crystal density across the matrix
Strong color contrast and textural depth
Untreated, unpolished specimen
Excellent example of garnet mineralization in matrix
Mineral: Garnet group
Color range: Pink to deep red
Crystal system: Isometric
Formation: Metamorphic environments where aluminum- and iron-rich minerals recrystallize under heat and pressure
