Etched Peruvian Red Garnet Crystal Specimen – Natural Garnet, 94.4g

This natural Red Garnet specimen from Peru features distinctive etched surface texture and rich red coloration. Weighing 94.4 grams and measuring 47 × 43 × 30 mm, it is a substantial mineral specimen for collectors, crystal displays, and geological collections.

Etching occurs when natural geological processes partially dissolve or alter a crystal’s surface, creating textured faces, patterns, and irregular growth features. These characteristics give each Garnet specimen an individual appearance and provide visual evidence of its formation history.
