Have you ever wonder why brownish-green stone, olive-green, or a yellowish-green stone just like this stone in this diamond jewelry get high price in the reputable auctions? Its color is less superior to emerald, tsavorite garnet, or green tourmaline. Mostly you will find inclusions in a stone. Only a few stones achieve more than two carats. However, this sometimes almost ugly stone is one of the most expensive gems in the world, and it is not just ordinary member of the garnet family; it's demantoid.
After demantoid garnet was discovered in 1868, demantoid was a darling of jewelers as we have seen jewelry in the Edwardian era and the Victorian era using these small stones. Tiffany had used demantoid extensively in the late nineteenth century.
Demantoid is more dispersive than diamond but the stone is extremely rare in big size.
