Uvarovite Garnet Crystal

$45.00

Description

This vivid Uvarovite Garnet specimen features brilliant emerald-like green microcrystals densely coating its matrix in a natural druzy formation. Uvarovite is the rarest member of the garnet group, and its vibrant green color is caused by chromium, the same element responsible for emerald’s hue.

  • Naturally sparkling druzy formation

  • The rarest type of garnet 

Metaphysical Properties

Uvarovite is associated with abundance, prosperity, and heart-centered growth. It is believed to encourage gratitude, generosity, and emotional renewal.
