Description

One of the rarest types of garnet, demantoid garnet is the gemological name used for green andradite garnets.  First discovered in 1868 in Russia, green demantoids were given there name because of their diamond-like brilliance and fire.  The high refractive index and dispersion of andradite does give these garnets a remarkably diamond-like appearance.  The green color comes from trace amounts of chromium and iron.  In the 1990’s demantoid garnets were discovered in Namibia.  While the greens from Namibia aren’t as intense  or as pure green as the Russian stones (they tend to be more yellow-green), the gems tend to be cleaner and lighter in tone, so the brilliance and fire shows very strongly. Most demantoid garnets tend to be small, so larger stones over one carat are uncommon. This demantoid has excellent clarity, making it bright and scintillating in the hand. There may be tiny inclusions that are visible only with a 10x loupe.

This demantoid garnet is a vibrant grass green color and it has lovely dispersion that can’t be captured in this photo–making it reminiscent of a colored diamond.  The garnet is faceted in our custom “Triptych” trillion design and cut to high precision, creating a scintillating and dispersive gemstone.  It weighs 1.57 carats and measures 7.2 x 7.2 x 4.6 mm.  It would make a unique center stone for an engagement ring.

Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.

Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color.  Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
