This stone contains small Ruby crystals that have become embedded in Zoisite.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby-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. To this day, Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDepending 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby in Zoisite is also known as Anyolite. It is said to increase vigour and to help overcome laziness. It is also believed to amplify the biomagnetic field around the body and to energize the life force.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Zoisite, Ruby in Zoisite is said to encourage you to be an individual, and to live life as you want to, but without distancing you from the rest of humanity. It also stimulates creativity and helps you to focus on your true objectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby in Zoisite is said to stimulate the Crown Chakra creating an altered state of consciousness that can be of benefit in entering a trance-like state and in past-life regression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Note!
