Natural Demantoid Garnet – 1.55ct – Round Cut – Vivid Green – ALGT Certified Demantoid garnet is one of the rarest and most prized members of the garnet family, celebrated for its exceptional brilliance and dispersion (“fire”). Thanks to its very high refraction, demantoid displays more spectral fire than diamond, producing vivid flashes of colored light under illumination. Unlike many gemstones, where high clarity is generally preferred, demantoids are appreciated for their characteristic natural inclusions, in particular serpentine horsetail and columnar inclusions. Its vivid to deep green color is caused by chromium, the same coloring element responsible for the finest emeralds, giving demantoid its characteristic rich and lively appearance. Combined with its outstanding optical performance and rarity, demantoid has long been considered one of the most collectible garnets in the world. These photos were taken with strong daylight presence, and you can appreciate its fire and life. Furthermore it displays an attractive vivid green color with excellent brilliance and transparency, further complemented by its balanced round cut and unique inclusions. Specifications.
