Product Details

Stone: Demantoid Garnet Weight: 0.85 carats (verified on scale/label) Size: 6.4 mm × 5.0 mm Cut: Oval / cushion hybrid — very wearable face-up size Origin: Russia (Ural Mountains) — verified source material Treatment: None. Untreated, unheated, completely natural. No color enhancement, no oil, no fracture filling. Color: Deep forest / apple green with high brilliance Clarity: Natural; may show characteristic “horsetail” inclusions — the signature fingerprint of authentic Russian demantoid, not a flaw here but a provenance marker. Why this stone matters Russian demantoids are among the rarest and most valuable garnets on Earth. Most emerald-green gems you see are treated emeralds or synthetic; this is a natural, untreated garnet with a hardness of 8.0–8.5 (much tougher for daily wear than emerald at 7.5–8). At this size it makes a stunning solitaire ring or stud earrings with real collector value.
