A glittering field of emerald-green garnet crystals spreads across the rock face, set against soft pink kämmererite, a chromium-bearing chlorite that gives the piece its unusual rose-toned matrix. The crystals here are notably larger than the fine druse typical of the locality, giving each garnet a distinct, readable sparkle. Green on pink is a colour combination few minerals can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eUvarovite is the rarest of the major garnets. The only one that is consistently green, coloured by chromium rather than iron. At Sarany, it forms in fractures cutting through chromite ore, where chromium-rich fluids crystallized garnet in sparkling seams along the walls, with kämmererite forming from the same chromium-rich environment. Unlike other garnets, uvarovite almost never grows large enough to facet, so it is prized precisely in this natural druzy form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eUvarovite is associated with abundance, prosperity, and heart-centered calm. As a green garnet aligned with the heart chakra, it is often chosen to encourage contentment and quiet confidence; a piece that reads as luxurious without excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the exact specimen photographed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMineral: Uvarovite (chromium garnet) on kämmererite and chromite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Saranovskii Mine, Sarany, Gornozavodskii District, Perm Krai, Russia (type locality)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: approx. 3.5 x 2.5 x 2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 476 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFormation: Natural druzy garnet crystals in chromite fracture seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eColour: Emerald green on pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Natural, unpolished; features consistent with formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48262186205396,"sku":null,"price":324.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/5D615525-2576-4E13-A008-A3147542799A.heic?v=1783820398","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/uvarovite-garnet-on-pink-kammererite-saranovskii-mine-russia","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
