We apologise in the video we say it is from Kenya and it is from Russia.

* To find such a large high quality piece of UVAROVITE Garnet is rare. We were delighted we found this and even more delighted to be able to cut it for possible use in jewellery. But it will look equally amazing as a collection piece! This is from the Urals region of Russia. The crystallisation is so exceptional - it is a durable stone where as most uvarovite can be like a thin coating of powder that will rub off. This is a supreme piece.

Uvarovite is a rare member of the Garnet group that is consistently deep green in color. Its most widespread habit is as lustrous, tiny, emerald-green crystals densely coating a matrix. Uvarovite is the only true chromium Garnet; other forms of Garnet such as Andradite and Grossular may have a deep green color due to chromium impurities and can sometimes be mistakenly labeled as Uvarovite. Uvarovite was first discovered in 1832 by Germain Henri Hess, who named the new mineral after Count Sergei Semenovitch Uvarov (1765-1855), a Russian statesman and mineral collector. It most often forms in drusy groupings of dodecahedral crystals. Seldom in single crystals. Also in crusty and spiky aggregates of tiny crystals. The formula is Ca3Cr2Si3O12.

Healing Properties
Uvarovite can heal the feeling of scarcity and “not enough” in all its aspects. IT may be about not having enough self confidence or power or love or knowledge or it’s about material wealth; Uvarovite aids in healing the feeling of not having enough. It aids in the opening up of the heart chakra and makes the wearer understand that everything in the universe is available to him when he needs it. Uvarovite helps the wearer to enhance the feeling of contentment and peace. It helps him to understand that the Universe is always there to give him what he needs in all kinds of needs including spiritual evolution. Uvarovite teaches a very important lesson of detachment which means that it helps in releasing all desires and enhancing the flow of universal energy.

Uvarovite also helps in healing feelings of scarcity on the emotional aspect. Whether it’s a feeling of not getting enough support or love in a relationship or some other emotional issue, Uvarovite helps in healing all these issues. It helps in connecting with the universe with the frequency of abundance, love and joy. It also heals the heart from the past hurts of insufficiency and lack.
