0.63 Ct. Demantoid Garnet from Russia

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an exquisite piece from our exclusive collection: a stunning 0.63 carat round shape green demantoid garnet. This remarkable gemstone, with its dimensions of 5.20 x 5.19 x 3.21 mm, is a masterpiece of nature and a testament to the skilled craftsmanship that has gone into its preparation. With a mixed brilliant cut, the demantoid garnet in question is not only visually striking but also reflects light in a way that maximizes its innate beauty and allure. Its vivid color intensity captures the eye with deep, lush greens that speak to the verdancy of its origins and the sterling reputation of demantoid garnets as some of the most prized members of the garnet family.

The demantoid garnet boasts a clarity grade classified as very slightly included when assessed at eye level. This subtly nuanced character in its clarity contributes to its unique identity without compromising its overall brilliance. Such inclusions are often regarded as intrinsic fingerprints of the stone, offering each gem its individual charm and distinction. In particular, the horse-tail inclusions, often observed in demantoid garnets from Russia, are rarely found in demantoids from other regions and are highly prized among connoisseurs for their exceptional beauty and rarity. Our garnet's excellent polish further enhances its visual appeal, ensuring that each facet is exquisitely rendered and that the garnet dazzles admirably when exposed to light.

The origin of this particular gem in the classical and storied mines of Russia adds an unparalleled level of heritage and prestige. Russian demantoid garnets have long been celebrated for their extraordinary quality and were first discovered in the Ural Mountains in the mid-19th century. The word demantoid is derived from the Dutch “demant,” meaning diamond, reflecting the garnet's diamond-like adamantine luster. This historical connection amplifies the intrinsic worth of this precious stone, hearkening back to the days of imperial Russia when demantoids graced the most magnificent pieces of jewelry belonging to the Russian aristocracy. This gemstone's journey from the depths of rich Russian soil to The Natural Gemstone Company's curated selection underscores a legacy of geological wonder and aristocratic aesthetic.

The cultural heritage tied to Russian demantoid garnets enhances the allure of this gemstone. Within various historical contexts, garnets have been associated with prosperity, energy, and protection. The rich, verdant hue of this demantoid garnet links it to these themes, symbolizing vitality and growth. Traditionally, green gems such as demantoids were often used in signet rings and necklaces, and were symbolic of the lands they hailed from.
