Formula: Ca3Fe3+2(SiO4)3
✪ Andradite var. Demantoid
Formula: Ca3Fe3+2(SiO4)3
Description: Demantoid from the area near Bagh Borj has been known in the international gem market since 2001. There are several active operations, both in tunnels and open cuts. Individual demantoid crystals may reach up to 5 cm, but are normally much smaller. Crystals of more than 1.5 cm must be considered large for the locality. Gem crystals are normally much smaller. The color ranges from yellowish green to deep green.
