Mineral Description
Ruby-zoisite was first discovered in 1954 in the Longido mining district of Tanzania. To this day, it is still the world’s only source for ruby-in-zoisite.
Ruby-zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen. It is also known as ‘anyolite’, a name 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. Blevins had initially thought that he had found vast ruby deposits in 1949, but it later turned out to be a green zoisite matrix with large inclusions of mostly opaque ruby. Ruby-zoisite is also heavily included with black hornblende minerals.
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. Zoisite’s hardness ranges from 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, whereas ruby has a hardness of 9. Although ruby-zoisite is not fine ruby, it eventually found a purpose in carvings and cabochons. Today, it is one of the most colorful ornamental gemstones available, and the abundance of gemstone material makes it very affordable even in larger sizes.
