Eric says: “Although I have admired diamonds for decades in my gem career I have always had a soft spot for garnets, and in particular the rare demantoid garnets sourced from the Ural mountains of Russia. Superb green colours in medium to vivid saturation sometimes complimented by a yellow secondary hue, having a brilliance and lustre close to the superior diamond and, of course, the famous fibrous inclusions resembling a horse’s tail (horse-tail inclusions). One of the few precious stones where the presence of an inclusion enhances its desirability and value.”
0.62 carat round brilliant demantoid garnet, measuring 5.0 mm diameter by 3.3mm depth, of pure vivid green saturation, well fashioned as a round brilliant, exhibiting superb lustre and scintillation, with a spectacular horsetail inclusions resembling a streaking comet screaming across the table facet seen when observed under 10x magnification. Russian origin, unheated and not treated in any way.
