Discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 19th century, demantoid became a prized gem among Russian royalty and European aristocrats. It is also found in Namibia and Madagascar, but Russian demantoid with fine color and classic inclusions remains the gold standard.
Top demantoid is one of the world’s rarest gems, valued for its vivid color, clarity, and dazzling fire. Russian stones above 1 carat with horsetail inclusions are exceptional collector pieces. Stones under 1 carat are most common; larger gems are extremely rare and expensive.
