A Russian demantoid of 1.12 carats in a round Russian cut, showing a bright, saturated green of real intensity. Fine byssolite fibers run through the stone, softening the light into a gentle internal haze — the color reads less as transparency and more as a glow, as though lit from inside. That byssolite is the same material that forms demantoid’s characteristic horsetail, and it marks the stone as Uralian. The cut is shallow, spreading the stone wide and letting the color fill the face. An unusual demantoid where the inclusions are not a compromise but the source of its character.
