Catalogue Essay
Ural Mountains hails as the historical source of demantoid garnets, which is the most valuable type of garnet and come mostly in small sizes. Gem-quality demantoid garnets over 3 carats, particularly those originating from Russia, are very rare. Unlike most inclusions in other gemstones, 'horse-tail' inclusion, as shown in the current stone, is not considered a flaw, but an endorsement of its acclaimed pedigree.
