Gemology

Ruby Zoisite in real life

• Ruby-zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen.
• It is also known as "anyolite"
  • This name is derived from the Masai word for green (anyoli)
• Other name variations include "ruby-in-zoisite" and "Tanganyika artstone".
• Ruby-zoisite was discovered at the Longido mining district in northeast Tanzania by Tom Blevins, an English prospector.
  • To this day, Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite.
• Depending on its primary constituents, ruby-in-zoisite can vary tremendously in color, pattern and hardness. Zoisite provides an earthy green color, while ruby inclusions give it pink and red highlights.
