Uvarovite Garnet - 23F867-12

Discover the striking beauty of Uvarovite Garnet, the rarest member of the garnet mineral group.First discovered in 1832 and named in honor of Russian statesman Count Sergei Uvarov, this exceptional mineral is uniquely celebrated for being the only true chromium-bearing garnet that is consistently deep green. Unlike standard red garnets, Uvarovite gets its vibrant, intense emerald-green hue directly from trace amounts of chromium in its chemical structure. Because it rarely forms single crystals large enough to be cut or faceted, it is most commonly found as a brilliant, shimmering "druzy" coating—a natural carpet of tiny, sharply defined dodecahedral crystals densely blanketing a matrix rock. Sourced historically from places like Russia's Ural Mountains and Finland, this breathtaking stone boasts a vitreous luster and a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7.5, making it a highly sought-after prize for fine mineral collectors and designers looking for unique, naturally glittering specimens that can be used in statement jewelry. Uvarovite Garnet assists one to recognize the endless nature of the soul, which can result in living with connectedness to “All That Is”. It bestows peace, quiet, and solitude, without loneliness. It promotes clarity in the mental processes, stimulates the heart chakra, and provides for enhancement of relationships. It assists one in staying cool in the midst of heat, turmoil or even another’s anger. It encourages loyalty and patriotism to one’s path, family, friends, and country. It has been used in the treatment of acidosis, disorders of the heart and lungs, leukemia, toxin removal, and kidney and bladder infections and disorders.
