Mineral background
Uvarovite is best approached as a collector mineral rather than a generic decorative crystal. The important details are the confirmed mineral identity, locality, crystal habit, associations on the matrix and the condition shown in close photographs.
How to compare Uvarovite specimens
Look for bright emerald-green druzy crystals on chromite or matrix. A strong specimen normally shows its main crystal habit clearly from more than one angle.
Value notes
Colour saturation, crystal coverage and Russian locality are strong value factors.
Care and handling
Handle by the matrix and avoid rubbing the crystal surface.
