Approximately 102‐fold enhancement of Raman scattering by ultramarine microcrystals is reported by means of interaction with silver nanoparticles in films and powders. Theoretical modeling predicts the maximal 1010‐fold enhancement in close vicinity of a silver spherical nanoparticle (0.24 nm) with rapid decay of enhancement factor to 1 in the range of approximately 50 nm. Experimental enhancement factor is treated as overall effect within the small portion of every microcrystal in the close vicinity of silver nanoparticle(s). The results are considered as an important extension of traditional surface enhanced molecular Raman spectroscopy towards bigger inorganic probes.
