About This Demantoid
An exceptional natural demantoid garnet weighing 5.07 carats, distinguished by its vivid to deep green color, highly sough for this type of garnet. At over five carats, the stone combines substantial size with the rarity and rare properties for which fine demantoid is prized.
 
The finest demantoids are also appreciated differently from many other gemstones. While absolute clarity is often the goal in colored stones, characteristic inclusions in demantoid can be part of their identity and appeal.
The best known are delicate fibrous “horsetail” inclusions, historically associated particularly with Russian demantoid. Other natural internal features can include needles, crystals and growth-related inclusions.
