Andradite Var. Demantoid Garnet
Description
A sinuous ribbon of glassy and gemmy, light olive-green demantoid crystals, to 1.5 cm across, is perched high on a white massive garnet matrix. A few of the crystals are also doubly terminated. The richness of the piece is good, as are the size of the crystals. The color is a little more olive than intensely green, but still at least comparable to most Italian demantoid of past finds, and pretty good by any standard. For overall aesthetics and richness in this price range, I thought this one of the better deals in the lot.

Demantoid Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
