Large Uvarovite Crystal
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Gorgeous classic
dodecahedron
of Uvarovite with excellent deep green color and superb luster. This is a huge (1.3 cm!) crystal and thus an important specimen for the species, with just minor edge wear when most of them you see are worn heavily or damaged from being popped out of the calcite. This one, however, seems to have been freestanding in the pocket and so the faces are not affected by removal of the
Calcite
by acid or physical means.
Locality
Outukumpu, Finland
Dimensions
3.5 x 2.3 x 1.5 cm.
