The distribution of chromophores and the composition of the chromium-bearing spinels in Uralian emeralds and alexandrites were studied for the first time. It was proved the main source of chromium for the coloring of emeralds and alexandrites from the Mariinsky deposit was the chromium-bearing spinels of the Bazhenov ophiolite complex. The rare mineral zincochromite is described as an inclusion in the Uralian emeralds for the first time.
