Item Description
These are some of the most classic Garnets in the world. Demantoid gets its name from Diamond 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. Some of the most famous Demantoid gems are from Russia, but recently, there was a discovery of some of outstanding quality Demantoid Garnets in Madagascar. The quality and color of these Demantoid rivals pieces I have seen from Italy, Namibia or even Russia. This particular sparkler is a VIVID green color gem with a "step oval" cut and very slight inclusions. The color of this gem is a greenish-amber hue. Faceted Demantoid stones are highly sought after on the market today and it be said that undoubtedly some of the finest Demantoids in the world come from Madagascar.
