A Russian demantoid of 0.425 carats, cut as a pear shape in the Russian style — a rare cut for the material. The color is a rich, vivid green of real juiciness and saturation. The stone is exceptionally clean, with only a soft trace of golden byssolite visible along the length of the pavilion, never intruding on the stone's brilliance. Light returns strongly across the elongated facets, giving the cut a graceful, elongated sparkle distinct from the classic round. A demantoid notable both for its uncommon shape and for the rare combination of vivid color with true clarity.
