An aesthetic miniature specimen of green demantoid garnets on matrix. Interestingly enough, the matrix is actually composed of garnet, not sedimentary rock, as was originally thought. As with all of these, the color is best in sunlight. In incandescent light, the green tends to look somewhat dull. By now most people know this, but the locality for these specimens is situated in a mangrove swamp which gets flooded by the tide every day. For a specimen like this, with this arrangement of crystals, with this color and with crystals of this size I think the price is quite reasonable, particularly given what people have been asking for these....
