Catalogue Essay
The rarest and most valuable demantoid garnet comes from Russia. It is the rarest of all the garnet varieties, and most valued by collectors for its exceptional brilliance and fire. This rare garnet was first discovered in the Ural Mountains in Russia in 1886 and was named demantoid for its diamond-like luster. Most of the Russian stones display fine needles in a radiating pattern that is known as 'horsetail' inclusion, the present demantoid is a fine example of such a specimen.
