The most significant source of uvarovite historically has been a now-closed copper mine at Outokumpu, Finland, from where most museum specimens have been collected. [7] The uvarovite crystals found in the Outokumpu district are among a wide range of chromium-rich silicate phases found in association with volcanogenic copper-cobalt-zinc sulfide ore deposits which are known to have an unusually ...
During the 17th century, the first deposits of iron and copper ores, mica, gemstones and other minerals were discovered in the Ural. Iron and copper smelting works emerged. In particular, the Gumyoshevsky mine was established in 1702 at an ancient copper deposit known since Bronze Age — so-called "legendary" Copper Mountain which also ...

It is usually found as the mineral chromite, from which ferrochrome is produced in a smelting process. Rank Country/Region Chromium ore production (tonnes)
London-based Oriel Resources Plc acquired 100% of the Voskhod chromite project in February 2005 and, based on the positive results of a feasibility study, planned to fast-track development of the Voskhod project. Discovered in 1963, the Voskhod chromite deposit lies within the Khromtau District of the Aqtobe Region.
Ore deposits of chromite form as early magmatic differentiates. It is commonly associated with olivine , magnetite , serpentine and corundum . [ 16 ] The vast Bushveld Igneous Complex of South Africa is a large layered mafic to ultramafic igneous body with some layers consisting of 90% chromite, forming the rare rock type chromitite (cf ...
It was discovered at the Berezovskoe Au Deposit (Berezovsk Mines) near Ekaterinburg in the Urals in 1766; [6] and named crocoise by F. S. Beudant in 1832, from the Greek κρόκος (krokos), [7] saffron, in allusion to its color, a name first altered to crocoisite and afterwards to crocoite.
