Comment: Demantoid is, thanks to their high dispersion, one of the few gems sparkling in rainbow colours (like good diamonds do). This feature has made them one of the most expensive garnets in the market. Here in the typical Namibian grass green hue (always less yellow and more green than images). The trained eye may find the inclusions shown below but only with the lens and a steady hand. Other than that the gem is 100% clean and glitzy. Under one carat but in no way shy to take a solitary centre position. Definitely better than any green diamond at the same price (if such exists). Certified, shipped and graded for free. Set into a simple white gold band it will praise and please the owner for an eternity.
