Ruby Zoisite India

Ruby Zoisite India is a crystal (shop SKU LRZR4) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Ruby-in-zoisite, or anyolite, is green zoisite with contrasting red ruby inclusions, a combination often associated with Tanzania. In crystal traditions, it is associated with vitality and with the heart. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as India.
