Uvarovite Facts is also referred to as the "Abundance Stone." Uvarovite garnets were first discovered in 1832 at the Saranovaskii mine in Russia, which is close to the Ural Mountains, by the Swiss-Russian scientist Henri Hess. The stone became well-known after Count Sergeč Semenovitch Uvarov, a prominent imperial statesman, mineral aficionado, and renowned Russian academic during Czar Nicholas I's reign. That same year of its discovery, Count Uvarov became the Deputy Minister of Education. The archaeologist Aleksey, his son, was instrumental in the founding of Russia's State Historical Museum in 1872 and co-founded the Imperial Russian Archaeological Society in 1846.
