Beautiful and uncommon specimen of gemmy Garnet var. Uvarovite from the type locality of Saranovskii Mine, Russia. It displays Uvarovite crystals up to 2mm attractively surrounding white Calcite. The Uvarovite has deep intense grass-green color and sharp rhombic dodecahedral habit. The crystals are very lustrous and sparkling, and contrast strongly around the white center. In very good condition – some small contacts.
Formidable Uvarovite piece!
