DESCRIPTION:

AWESOME HUGE Chrome Green Demantoid Garnet Crystal Rough from Kerman, Iran. This is some of the best Demantoid from Iran that has come by us in a very long time and we are EXTREMELY pleased to be able to offer it to you. This is a HUGE chunk of some of the most vibrant material Iran has ever produced. The stone itself is a Crystal Cluster of several intergrown crystals and is IDEALLY suited to be a specimen because of its rarity and is being sold as such; however, we would conservatively estimate that 30% of the stone is High Facet Grade and some of the best material we have seen Iran produce. We sincerely hope this piece finds its way to a collector so its beauty can be preserved!

It is EXTREMELY difficult to get this colored Demantoid in clean material and typical inclusions such as horsetails are prevalent in some of the rough if not most of it. This material is the perfect size as far as color goes for Irani Demantoid as larger stones tend to get oversaturated and we are confident this will please any Demantoid Connoisseur. Please note that even melee in this stuff is quite costly and the color on this stone  will just blow you away! 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. The material really is MUCH better than the pictures show and you have to look at this stuff in person to fully appreciate its beauty. Don't miss your chance to purchase this as you may never get another opportunity!

COOL FACTS:
  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.
