Ruby Zoisite with Mica Crystal - Tumbled

Ruby Zoisite with Mica Crystal - Tumbled (shop SKU LRZT) is offered as a tumbled stone online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

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.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. 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.
