My Mineral Collection, Uvarovites Page

This is my uvarovite collection.
Uvarovite Info
Unfortunately, uvarovites are invariably too small to cut for jewelry - the color would be beautiful! Uvarovites almost always occur in or on chromite or chromic serpentine matrices. They form (at least) an incomplete series with the grossulars.
Garnets on Other Pages
See my other garnet pages; almandines, andradites, grossulars, pyropes (and misc. garnets), and spessartines. Also, see my other nesosilicates.
