Welcome to SuchenGems!
The perfect substitute for Russian Demantoid garnets.
Demantoid garnet is a rare, green variety of andradite garnet, prized for its exceptional brilliance and fire, often described as diamond-like. It's known for its high dispersion, which causes intense flashes of color (rainbow-like) within the stone, and its adamantine luster. The color can range from a vivid emerald green to yellowish-green, and some stones may have a brownish tint. It's a relatively small gemstone, with stones over 2 carats (400 mg) being quite rare.
Key characteristics of demantoid garnet:
Color: Predominantly green, with variations from yellowish-green to emerald green, and sometimes brownish.
Brilliance and Fire: High dispersion (ability to split light into colors) gives it a dazzling sparkle, often described as "fire".
Luster: Adamantine, similar to a diamond.
Size: Typically small, with stones over 2 carats being uncommon.
Inclusions: Russian demantoids are known for their "horse-tail" inclusions, caused by byssolite (fibrous amphibole).
Rarity: One of the rarest and most valuable garnet varieties.
Origin: Historically found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, but also mined in Namibia and Madagascar.
Chemical Composition: A calcium-iron silicate (andradite variety of garnet).
Why it's prized:
Demantoid garnets are highly sought after by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts for their unique combination of color, brilliance, and fire. The high dispersion makes them stand out, and the presence of "horse-tail" inclusions (in the Russian variety) adds to their allure
