While there are exceptions..it seems nearly all Demantoids on eBay claim Russian origin with horsetail inclusions. We have bought a number of these stones and without exception they are African, Pakistan or Iranian (deep green) stones and the "horsetail inclusions proving Russian origin are not present.

Our Demantoids are cut by Russian craftsmen who know how to cut them for maximum brilliance and effect. The craftsmanship is superb and second in quality to none!

This gem is a rare old mine Russian Demantoid Garnet with beautifully formed classic horsetail inclusions visible only under magnification. A clean and extremely brilliant gem with beautiful green color. This rare Demantoid has the "better than Diamonds" brilliance and shows lots of multi-color dispersion!

Old mine Demantoids (original discovery area) are rarely available on today's market.

A dream gem for collectors or suitable for the finest jewelry!
