Since February 2009, Madagascar is producing Demantoïd. Some astonishing specimens have been mined as well as gemstones of very fine quality. The mine is situated in the northern part of Madagascar near the city of Ambanja. Mostly the stones are found in small size and poor clarity. The colour vary from brown to brownish green, to green and in the ideal case to bluish green.
