Locality: Shengus (Shingus), Haramosh Mts., Skardu District, Baltistan, Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas), Pakistan

2.9 x 2.5 x 1.0 cm. From the garnet collection of Bill Larson, a huge crystal of wine-red almandine garnet - actually gemmy, just very dark. It has this gorgeous form to it, with lustrous, micro-stepped faces all the way around.
