Demantoid
Demantoid is probably the most exotic gem in the garnet family. It is a beautiful green colour, ranging from yellow green to blue green, but with an internal fire and refraction that is greater than that of diamond.
Originally discovered in Russia and mined briefly in the 19th century, their beauty captivated Fabergé who used the stones frequently in his workshop. Until recently these gems were practically unobtainable, today they remain very rare.
