0.56 Ct. Demantoid Garnet from Russia

The demantoid garnet is a gemstone that stands as a testament to the wonder of geological processes, formed millions of years ago under highly specific conditions deep within the earth. Our featured green demantoid garnet, sourced from the mineral-rich environments of Russia, boasts a fascinating genesis story. Large geological upheavals and the slow movements within the earth's mantle facilitated the composition of this exquisite gemstone over eons, skillfully blending pressure and temperature to create a piece of nature's art. Its formation spans back to a time when the shifting spells and collisions of the tectonic plates presented the ideal conditions for this gemstone to crystallize, capturing a vivid history beautifully preserved in its radiant hue.

Each gemstone tells its own story, and this takes center stage with its intriguing green brilliance and remarkable clarity. The demantoid garnet ranks exceedingly high among collectors and gemological experts alike, not just because of its beauty but also because of its rarity and geological tale. It is crafted in a round shape with dimensions of 5.64 x 5.61 x 3.70 mm, brilliantly showcasing its slightly included clarity grade, which is visible without magnification under eye-level evaluation. This specific clarity enhances its authenticity, making it an enterprise-worthy treasure, especially when combined with its vivid color intensity. The mixed brilliant cut further contributes to its splendor, sending an explosion of light through its surface and offering a precisely calculated display of facets that reflects hues with captivating intensity. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take pride in offering this masterpiece with an excellent polish finish, which accentuates its inherent brilliance.

The intrinsic value of this unique garnet lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its scientific properties and tangible rarity. Unlike other garnet varieties, demantoid possesses a vibrant palette, sharply defined at the edges of brilliance that makes it unrivaled amongst peers. Its origin from Russia contributes distinct characteristics and enhances its desirability as Russian demantoids are revered for their intense fire and dispersion, comparable often to that of a diamond. Additionally, the symbolic significance of the garnet imbues it with added worth, as its name is derived from the Greek word 'demas,' meaning diamond-like, emphasizing its brilliant luster and manifold play of color which resembles that of diamond. As conscious consumers delve deeper into understanding what sets apart an exemplary gem, clarifying essential attributes becomes paramount, and this high-caliber Russian demantoid serves as a prime example.
