0.87 Ct. Demantoid Garnet from Russia

The demantoid garnet is a jewel of exceptional allure, renowned for its vivid green hue and rarity. Our featured gemstone is an exquisite example that would make a cherished addition to any fine jewelry collection. Boasting a weight of 0.87 carats and crafted in a classic round shape, this transparent gemstone measures 5.84 x 5.85 x 3.56 mm. Its tailored proportions are achieved through a brilliant mixed cut, enhancing its ability to capture and reflect light magnificently. This cut is revered for maximizing the gem's natural brilliance, allowing its vibrant color to take center stage.

One of the most captivating aspects of this demantoid garnet lies in its inclusions, which serve not only as unique identifiers but also as elements that contribute to the stone's distinct character. In the gemological world, inclusions can provide significant insight into the gemstone's origin and formation process. In the case of our demantoid garnet, its very slightly included clarity grade — evaluated at eye level — underscores its high quality. These inclusions, often referred to as the horsetail pattern, are reminiscent of brushstrokes within the gem and are a signature feature found primarily in Russian demantoid garnets. They are not merely imperfections but rather integral characteristics that prove the stone's authenticity and natural genesis.

The origin of a gemstone plays a critical role in determining its value. The Russian origin of this demantoid garnet is particularly noteworthy as the Ural Mountains are legendary for producing stones of superior color and durability. The natural, vivid color intensity of this piece is a testament to Russia's esteemed reputation in the gem industry. Such striking and rich coloration is very appealing to educated buyers who recognize the significance of origin in the world of gemstones. The depth and saturation of the green not only showcase the inherent beauty of the mineral but also signify the conditions under which it crystallized, further authenticating its Russian roots.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take pride in offering stones of the highest standards. The excellent polish achieved on this garnet attests to the skill of our artisans and their dedication to preserving the gem's innate splendor. A fine polish is essential in fully realizing a gemstone's potential, as it minimizes surface imperfections and enhances light performance, contributing to a gemstone's overall appeal. The brilliance and luster conveyed by our demantoid garnet are irresistible, ensuring it stands out in any setting while maintaining an elegance that speaks volumes of its inherent quality.
