Demantoid Garnet

Item Description

These are some of the most classic Garnets in the world. Demantoid gets is name from Diamonds due to the amazingly high refractive index of the material. In addition, the color of these stones is matched by only a few other green gems on the market. This particular sparkler is a VIVID green color gem with an "Oval Brilliant" cut and very very very slight inclusions of the highly desirable "horsetail"-like needles of Actinolite. The color of this gem is amazing, and it's a steal for the $100 starting bid, as we had it valued at $600 retail. These stones are highly sought after on the market today and undoubtedly the finest Demantoids in the world come from Russia.
