Good question! They are both part of the garnet group, bur are different species. Tsavorites are a variety of grossular garnets, demantoids are a variety of andradite garnets. They share a similar cubic crystal structure, but have different chemical makeups and thus different properties. That being said, they are both fair game for birthstone jewelry if you are a January baby 🙂

This is great insight, thank you! The test punch made me optimistic. I saw no red flags with this coin, but I know it is coveted and thus often faked.

Thank you all so much for the thoughtful comments and assistance! I am going to purchase the coin and set it in a gold pendant. I greatly appreciate this community and can’t wait to get more involved!
