AWESOME Chrome Green to Greenish Yellow Demantoid Garnet faceted gemstones from Kerman, Iran. These were faceted in the US on an Ultra-Tec and our price on this doesn't even come close to breaking even as a result. The stones were cut for the inclusions in them for academic usage and were part of a larger batch. These are excess inventory at our end that we are just liquidating to get rid of some odds and ends. There is a very limited amount of this coming from Iran and we are glad to be one of the select few dealers carrying this material. It is important to note than many of the larger stones in here are full of HORSETAIL INCLUSIONS! This is a GREAT value for the price and not to be missed as we will unlikely have any more in the future so grab this before it is gone!

1. There have been two notable finds of Demantoid coming from South Asia. Khost, Afghanistan has produced some spectacular Demantoid Crystals with super luster that were high facet grade; however, the color was more of a neon and Lime Green than the preferred Chrome Green. Iran has also produced Demantoid but of a more beautiful Chrome Green. Generally speaking, most of the Irani material gets excessively dark in the larger sizes and we suggest staying under 2 carats for ideal cut stones.
