I just got a new Garnet. It's a tiny Demantoid garnet from the Jeffrey Mine, Quebec, Canada. It has a fabulous horsetail inclusion which pretty much takes over the whole stone.

Is that considered a horsetail in demantoid, I have seen some but none that looked quite like that. I am not saying its not, don't take me wrong. I guess every horse has a tail of there own. That is what makes gemstones so fascinating.

Had parcels of small 3-4.5mm round Demantoid coming in through Pakistan, wasn't really cut to display, but more just to get quantities to sell. But I remember looking at them threw the microscope with my gemologist and what I remember seeing was more of a side profile of a horsetail like shape of this horsetail image.
