Demantoid garnets are gems that were discovered in 1868 in Russia's Ural Mountains. The Russian miners began comparing these green garnets to diamonds and referred to them as "demantoid", from the French demant, meaning diamond. Demantoids are very brilliant and have a significant flash of color and fire. This is due to their high dispersion or optical properties. Being a green variety of garnet these gems with intense colors can be highly valued.
