About Demantoid Garnet

Demantoid is the green gem variety of andradite, a calcium-iron member of the garnet group. It crystallizes in the isometric system, has a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, and is especially recognized for the bright luster seen in transparent gem material; natural specimens may also occur as darker, included, fractured, or partly opaque crystals.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations

In crystal traditions, green garnets are associated with vitality, confidence, prosperity, and connection with the natural world. Demantoid may be kept for meditation, intention-setting, symbolic renewal, or simply as an earthy green display piece. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are provided for cultural and informational purposes; they are not scientifically established or intended as medical advice.

Why This Specimen?

The specimen offers a bold, compact silhouette with varied olive-green tones and contrasting tan-orange seams. Its rough faces, internal fractures, and darker green core areas provide visual interest from multiple viewing angles.
