Uvarovite and its relationships with grossular and andradite have been studied in order to understand better the geochemistry of uvarovite. Synthese have been carried out under both dry and hydrothermal conditions; a solid solution with grossular was obtained under both conditions, but with andradite only under hydrothermal conditions. The results are discussed in relation to the chemistry of uvarovite.
