Demantoid Garnet Specimen Pakistan
I wanted to highlight this particular Demantoid Garnet because the color saturation is genuinely refreshing. This is a natural Demantoid Garnet sourced from Pakistan, and it’s a great representation of why this locality has gained so much traction among enthusiasts in recent years. As you probably know, Demantoid is the green variety of Andradite, and it is largely considered the rarest and most valuable member of the garnet family.
What makes this specimen stand out is that vibrant, earthy green hue. It’s not the dark, almost blackish-green you sometimes see in lower-quality bulk material; instead, this crystal holds a lively color that comes from chromium within the chemical structure. When you look at it under good lighting, you can really see that famous high dispersion—the "fire" that separates this mineral from emeralds or peridots. The luster here is adamantine, giving the crystal faces a very distinct, brilliant shine that looks almost wet or glassy.
I think this Demantoid Garnet is a solid choice if you are looking to add that specific splash of neon-like green to your display cabinet without dealing with treated or cut stones. It is a completely natural geologic specimen that speaks for itself.
