Awesome lot of Crimson Red to Cherry Red colored Spessartite Garnet from Kashmir, Pakistan. You are unlikely to run into additional rough in the future as it is produced VERY sporadically! This is the legendary material that is referred to as "Kashmirine" and was written about previously in Gems & Gemology. From our understanding the mines in Kashmir are practically  depleted.

This material was sold to us as Spessartite and we are 99.99999% sure that it is due to the unusual striations that occur on Spessartite Crystals and not other species of the Garnet Family that are of similar color. Most of these are well terminated floater crystals shaped for high yield and we are confident there are some stunning gemstones just wanting to be brought out of these. Overall the material is running roughly 90% Top facet grade. We don't expect getting any similar material in the future so don't miss out on your chance to purchase this!

1. Kashmirine is highly sought after by collectors. The initial find in Kashmir looked very promising; however, after a few months of mining most of the material dried up and it is rarely seen in the market.
