Item Description
Scintillating light and dark emerald-green Uvarovite crystals, to 1 mm, are dramatically festooned on the sculptural large massive chromite ore matrix from the Type Locality in Russia. The two patches of contrasting Calcite are a super accessory, contrast and complement. Specimens of this size and richness are seldom available today. The heyday was in the 1990s. Mass is 1191 grams or 2.6 pounds and the piece displays well without aid. An impressive piece of museum display size. Material like this, in this size, has mostly been cut up for jewelry pieces now - and even was a problem at the time in the 1990s. We used to be these by weight, having to compete with the jewelry trade. They made them into carvings for pendants and other things. Large specimens like this - almost impossible to find today. Valued $1000-plus.
