Garnets

About

Garnet crystals as well as garnets on matrix and garnet clusters in a variety of colorations. Garnets from Pakistan and Afghanistan are part of the rich tapestry of gemstones that these regions offer. Known for their deep red hues, garnets are often found in the rugged terrains of the Hindu Kush mountain range, which presents a challenging yet rewarding location for gemstone mining. These garnets are not only valued for their beauty but also for their historical significance, as the areas have a long tradition of gemstone mining dating back thousands of years. The natural garnets from these regions are often traded in local markets before making their way to global gemstone connoisseurs.
