Description

Exceptionell Demantoid from a recent find in 2018. This find has brought one of the best Demantoid crystals ever found in Russia. Sharp edged, high luster and amazing color. All crytals are gemmy translucent to transparent. There are no crystals on matrix available since this cleft was broken down and the garnets were collected exactly as you can see it here after washing. The pics were made with light from the side. No full backlight and no full frontlight. A small Quartz crystal is visible.

To see the whole specimen please watch also the video in HD!!!
