A true rarity: this 2.78-carat natural cat’s-eye demantoid garnet. Demantoid garnet is one of the rarest garnet varieties; the cat’s-eye effect (chatoyancy) adds an extra layer of rarity!
This cat’s-eye effect is caused by parallel needle-like inclusions or fibers within the stone. These may well be the fibers associated with the “horsetail” inclusions (chrysotile fibers) for which demantoid garnet is renowned.
This rare gem is 100% natural and comes with a certificate from the DSEF (Deutsches Gemmologisches Institut), a leading authority in the field of gemology. This guarantees the authenticity, quality, and natural origin of this exceptional stone.
An opportunity for the connoisseur or gemstone collector looking for something truly unique!
