No reserve price Green Demantoid - 3.13 ct - International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA GemLab)

Demantoid is a rare and highly valued variety of andradite garnet distinguished by its intense green color and exceptional brilliance. Its name derives from the German word for diamond due to its remarkable fire and luster, often outshining even diamonds when properly cut. Demantoids commonly exhibit unique inclusions known as "horsetail" fibers, which can enhance their collectability rather than detract from it. This gemstone is treasured both for its beauty and its hardness, making it suitable for fine jewelry settings. Its captivating green shade is caused by traces of chromium and iron, contributing to its vivid and lively appearance.
