Nevada Brown Garnet Crystal Cluster on Matrix
A richly textured 3.5 oz Nevada collector specimen covered with numerous small reddish-brown to deep brown crystals across a gray-green matrix.

Hidden Bazaar Collector Rarity Index™: 5/10 – Uncommon
This score reflects the specimen’s dense crystal coverage and visual character. A confirmed mine or district locality could raise its collector significance and potentially its rarity score.
This index reflects the collectibility of the individual specimen based on locality, crystal form, condition, visual character, mineral association, and market availability. It is not a scientific mineral-abundance scale.
Identification Note: Garnet identification is based on visible crystal habit, color, and morphology. Exact garnet species has not been laboratory-confirmed. Andradite and grossular are the leading possibilities.
Metaphysical Tradition: Garnet is traditionally associated with vitality, grounding, confidence, and perseverance. These are cultural or spiritual beliefs and are not scientifically established properties.
