uvarovite

Uvarovite is a rare and beautiful green mineral belonging to the garnet family, known for its vibrant emerald-green color. Its chemical composition mainly consists of calcium, chromium, and silicon oxides. Uvarovite forms as small, sparkly crystals and is often found embedded in serpentinite rocks. Because of its striking appearance, it’s highly valued by collectors and jewelers, though it’s usually too fragile for widespread jewelry use. Its rich color and crystalline structure make it a distinctive mineral, often studied by geologists and mineral enthusiasts.
