Not large, but essentially a perfect example of what to look for in the highest quality examples of this species. Gorgeous color, an almost intense green coupled with flawless cutting gives the stone a chance to showcase the brilliance and dispersion that Demantoid is known for. Then, of course, a very fine and lovely series of classic ‘horsetail’ inclusions of byssolite throughout the stone are easily seen with magnification - the exact right amount to not interfere with the brilliance. Textbook stone.
