Demantoid garnet was first discovered in the late 1800's in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Like alexandrite it was a favorite of the Russian czars and the preeminent Russian jeweler Karl Fabergé. Demantoid garnet has a dispersion index exceeding that of diamonds. This results in the gemstones captivating brilliance and fire. In fact, when first discovered demantoids were thought to be green diamonds. It is little wonder that the name "demantoid" is derived from a French word meaning diamond-like. |
