Item Description
The big chrome mine at Sarany was the source of some of the best Uvarovites to come out in the last 30 years. This miniature specimen hosts many micro rich chrome green Uvarovite crystals on chromite matrix. These particular specimens have become very hard to find on the market in recent years. We have photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate their quality. From a prominent Midwest collection that we recently purchased.
