Demantold Garnet From Madagascar 1.71CT
Madagascar demantoid garnets, primarily sourced from the Antetezambato mine in the Ambanja district, are celebrated for their intense emerald-green color and superior fire. Discovered in the early 2000s, these vibrant "mangrove garnets" offer a highly brilliant and distinctly colored alternative to traditional Russian and Namibian stones.
Key Characteristics
- Color: Ranges from bright yellow-green to deep emerald-green.
- Origin: Primarily mined from the swampy, flood-prone mangrove regions of northern Madagascar.
- Inclusions: While classic "horsetail" inclusions (asbestos fibers) are rarer here than in Russian stones, Malagasy demantoids boast remarkable clarity and geometric growth patterns.
- Rarity: Like all demantoids, stones over 1.0 ct are exceptionally scarce, driving a high price point
