2.2" Garnet Cluster with Feldspar and Epidote- Pakistan
This garnet centered specimen comes from a location in Pakistan, where associations of deep orange/brown garnets, feldspar, golden mica, green epidote, and calcite are typically found. The garnets from this location display a unique pattern, which can be seen along the faces of the crystals when rotated under light.
Small light and dark green epidote crystals can be found stemming from the superior portion of this mineral specimen. Microscopic translucent epidote crystals give some portions of this garnet cluster specimen a druzy appearance. On the inferior side of the garnet cluster is a bed of feldspar matrix, as well as small golden flakes of mica that give this specimen an extra touch of shine.

Garnets are nesosilicates with the general formula X3Y2(SiO4)3. Garnets come in many species, including pyrope, almandine (the most common species), spessartine, uvarovite, andradite and grossular, varieties of which are hessonite, cinnamon-stone, and tsavorite. Garnets are found in a wide variety of colors including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, brown, blue, black, pink, and colorless, though reddish shades are the most common.
