- What is it: Ruby Zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals. It is also known as Anyolite, with the name coming from the Masai word for "green" anyoli. Ruby Zoisite can vary in color, pattern and hardness. Zoisite provides an earthy green color, while the ruby inclusions give it pink and red tones. Zoisite's hardness ranges from 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, while ruby has a hardness of 9.
- History: Ruby Zoisite was discovered at the Longido mining district in northeast Tanzania by Tom Blevins in 1949, an English prospector. Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite. Blevins had initially thought that he had found ruby, but it later finding the discovered minerals to be a green zoisite matrix with inclusions of opaque ruby.
- Metaphysical Properties: Ruby is said to be the stone of courage and strength, and purges any fear or anxiety that sit within us daily. Green Zoisite's energy produces growth in all aspects of life.
- Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead
