From the depths of metamorphic rock to the careful hands of an artisan, this demantoid garnet carries a story that begins over millions of years. Formed where high pressure met iron rich chromium sources, this transparent 0.74 carat gemstone was discovered in Namibia, a source that yields some of the most characterful demantoids outside of historical Russian deposits. Carefully extracted, examined, and kept free from enhancements, it was masterfully shaped into an emerald cut with radiant faceting to celebrate its natural green, measuring 5.41 x 4.40 x 3.52 mm. At eye level it earns a clarity grade of very slightly included, a testament to its transparency and the skill of its cutter, and it displays a medium intense color intensity with an excellent polish that transforms light into lively flashes. The Natural Gemstone Company places provenance and integrity at the heart of every piece, and this gem arrives with the unaltered beauty that collectors and artisans prize.
What sets this green demantoid apart is its uncommon combination of size and tone when compared to similar options on the market. Demantoids are often admired for their vivid greens at small sizes, making a near three quarter carat, transparent example rare in both presence and purity. The medium intense green is balanced, neither too yellow nor too blue, making it versatile for both contemporary and classic designs, while the excellent polish and radiant faceting magnify its fire and scintillation. For a jeweler, this piece offers a focal point that beholds light and movement, and for a collector, it holds geological and cultural significance as a Namibian gem that escaped enhancement to preserve its natural story. Whether set as a solitaire that highlights its emerald silhouette, paired with warm metals to enhance its green, or integrated into a bespoke engagement or statement piece, this demantoid conveys rarity, provenance, and a luminous presence that few stones its size can match. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to bring this exceptional gem into a design where its journey from earth to art will continue to be told.
