Here is something unexpected and quite special. While these Iranian Demantoids were being cut, it was noticed that they were strongly color zoned; so much so that most in fact where cut as slices to feature this. A very, very few were fully faceted and still manage to show this rare effect. We have not encountered this type of strong zoning in Demantoid before this find - the gem is a dominant a yellowish-green with a striking bright green ‘core’. Really fascinating and extremely limited, we saw just a precious few of these at Tucson this year. These were recently photographed for the Journal of Gemmology.
