Description

Named after Count Sergey Semeonovich Uvarov, Uvarovite is the name given to the green calcium chromium garnet. Very difficult to find on the market, this sample hosts a few of perfect lustrous distinct crystals of about 2,5 to 3 mm width !!! (an exceptional dimension for that kind of mineral). Nearly all of them are in perfect conditions and shows a great intense green colour, while some of the external parts of the piece show some acceptable bruising (that can be easily trimmed if wanted). This is not one of the very often seen samples with just a green undistinct layer of green substance. A sample not to miss.
