A Russian demantoid of 0.54 carats from the Poldnevskoye deposit, cut as a pear — a shape rarely applied to this material. The color is a bright, fresh green with unusual transparency for demantoid, letting light travel through the stone rather than being absorbed into typical depth of tone. The pear shape tapers the color toward the point while opening it broadly at the crown, giving the stone a distinctive silhouette few demantoid share. A demantoid that trades density of color for clarity and light — an unconventional example of the material in both cut and character.
