A Russian demantoid of 1.440 carats cut as a pear — an uncommon shape in this material — showing a fresh mint green with real brightness. The lighter tone lets the stone's dispersion open up completely: it breaks into flashes of orange, gold, blue and green across the whole face, one of the most brilliant stones in the collection. Byssolite horsetail fibers run through it, the marker of Uralian origin. A bright mint-green demantoid of good size in a rare pear cut, with fire that is its defining quality.
