Demantoid is the rarest and the most valuable member the garnet group. The color spectrum varies from a golden honey-colored to a vivid green. The dispersion (0.057) is higher than that of diamond (0.044). Dermatoid garnets look best in daylight. Because of its high dispersion has rainbow-coloured flashes of light in the stone.
The largest demantoid deposits are located in the Middle Urals, Russia. According to recent studies, the richest and highest quality demantoid deposit is located near Ekaterinburg. The most famous is Poldnevskoye field.
The deposit covers an area of 40 hectares. The main productive mineralization of the site is concentrated within long steeply falling veins of the chrysotile-antigorite-carbonate composition. Within the veins are extremely rare and unevenly localized mineralized pockets with demantoid.
Demantoids from the Poldnevskoye field occur in all possible colors but green color is the most typically. Our demantoids doesn’t need any treatment (low-temperature heat treatment to remove or reduce the brown color component).
This kind of treatment is characteristic of the demantoids of neighboring deposits.
Poldnevskoy demantoids are renowned for combination of vivid green color and high dispersion.
