Item Description
A particularly sharp, lustrous, deep green uvarovite garnet crystal with flashy emerald-green highlights from the famous Outokumpu area of Finland. The partially gemmy crystal has textbook dodecahedral form and the slight contact on the base is out of sight. Uvarovite is the moderately uncommon calcium chromium garnet group end member. Classic, old-time material from this famous locality from the Carlton Davis Thumbnail Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
