Description
Bracelet made of Ruby zoisite mineral with 8 mm spheres
Ruby zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen. Ruby-zoisite was discovered at the Longido mining district in northeast Tanzania, and to this day, Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite. Zoisite belongs to the Epidote group of minerals, and was named after Sigmund Zois who realized some minerals given to him were at the time unknown Zoisite specimens.
