Description
A beautiful matrix specimen with small, gemmy uvarovite crystals scattered across the surface. The specimen comes from the type locality for the species, an area renowned for producing some of the finest uvarovite crystals in terms of quality. It is also geologically interesting: on the reverse, one can clearly observe how mineralizing solutions flowed through fractures in the host rock and deposited the crystals. Under magnification, the specimen truly comes alive, making it outstanding material for microscopy and macrophotography.
