PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Andradite, known commonly as Demantoid Garnet, owes its name to the eminent Brazilian mineralogist J. B. de Andrada e Silva (1763-1838). Demantoid garnet, often referred to for its adamantine lustre, is a remarkable gemstone. Notably, some of the finest specimens known as Green Dragon Mine Demantoids originate from the Erongo region in Namibia. This unique garnet variety boasts a captivating green hue that varies in intensity, making each specimen a marvel of nature's artistry. Toprock frequently sources batches of these exquisite gems from Namibia, while Madagascar contributes only a limited number of specimens. Typically found in plate-like formations, the Namibian Demantoid specimens from the Green Dragon Mine are adorned with delicate drusy small crystals, creating a distinctive visual appeal. However, larger, more defined crystals are a rarity, enhancing the allure and scarcity of these specimens. Acquiring Demantoid garnet specimens, particularly those from the Green Dragon Mine in Namibia, presents a rare opportunity for collectors due to their scarcity and unique characteristics. The price of these exceptional gems varies according to their grade, quality, and individual features, reflecting their rarity and beauty. Price is grade dependant. Items are as shown.Product Data
