Russia is the classic locality for uvarovite, and the Saranovskii Mine in the Middle Urals is its type locality.  Uvarovite's most desirable colour is a rich emerald or chrome green, often with a very attractive sparkling appearance. Unlike many garnets, however, uvarovite almost never occurs as large individual crystals. It is usually found as tiny, sharply formed crystals covering the surface of a chromite matrix, producing what mineral collectors call a uvarovite druse.
