AWESOME Chrome Green Demantoid Garnet SELECT Faceting Rough Lot from Kerman, Iran. This is probably the BEST Demantoid from Iran that has come by us in a long long time and we are EXTREMELY pleased to be able to offer it to you. Overall this material is the cleanest we have gotten a hold of as of thus far for Demantoid; however, some stones do have some minor inclusions as can be expected for this species of Garnet. We estimate that most stones will cut in the eye-clean to FLAWLESS range with many inclusions capable of faceting out or masking up well; however, you will get a few stones that cut in the very slightly to slightly included range.

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. This material is unfortunately not the largest available and is ideally suited for commercial faceting as it is melee; however, we are confident most of these will facet spectacular finished gems. Please note that even melee in this stuff is quite costly and the color on many of these stones  will just blow you away as the lot is almost entirely composed of select stones!

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. Many of the stones in here are crystals or partial crystals and nodules and would be great for mineral collectors as well. 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!

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.
