A single glassy and gemmy, light green crystal of demantoid, measuring 1.3 cm across, is aesthetically perched on a natural pedestal: the matrix is made up of limestone metasomatized (metamorphosed to) microscopic garnet so this is technically garnet on garnet! The garnet is complete all around save only a small contact on back. A fine thumbnail of high quality for its good color, and excellent translucency.
