Uvarovite

Uvarovite (dark green dodecahedral, 1.3 x 1.2 x 1.1 cm) on quartz with minor sulfides. A very nice miniature example of this rare chromium bearing variety of garnet from Finland! This locality is famous for these beautiful green garnets. An old-time European classic. Includes custom base.

Spann collection # 13678.
