CHROME GARNET
The sesquioxide base is chiefly Chromium.
Shades of colour: Emerald green.
Example: Ouvarovite, Uvarovite or Uwarowite, after the Professor of that name of the late Russian Imperial Academy at Petrograd. This variety will not, like other varieties, yield to the blow-pipe. It is a hard stone and few specimens large enough for cutting have been discovered. It is under the celestial Aquarius.
Many specimens of ancient engraved garnets have been found. Friction produces in the stone a positive order of electricity which has a perceptible effect on the magnetic needle.

“The Haematite, named by the Greeks from blood,
Benignant Nature formed for mortals’ good.”
