A teardrop cabochon of ruby in zoisite measuring 37.2x24.3mm and weighing 51.5 carats, with a notable balance between the two minerals. The polished surface shows vivid magenta-pink ruby patches covering a substantial portion of the face alongside bright green zoisite, with the dark mineral hornblende adding depth and contrast throughout. The ruby color zones are distributed broadly across the center and upper area, making this one of the more ruby-dominant pieces in the range.
Ruby in zoisite is an exclusive Tanzanian mineral combination from the Longido area, where ruby corundum and chrome-bearing green zoisite co-formed in metamorphic conditions found essentially nowhere else on earth. At 37.2x24.3mm and 51.5 carats, this teardrop cabochon is a strong-presence piece for pendant centerpieces, statement jewelry, or lapidary collections. Entirely untreated, preserving the natural three-mineral composition of anyolite.

About ruby in zoisite
Ruby in zoisite is a rock from Tanzania: opaque red ruby crystals set in green zoisite, often with black hornblende. The ruby is very hard, but the zoisite around it is only 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, so its care follows the zoisite.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: the stone combines minerals that react differently to heat and vibration.
Wear and storage
Below 7 on the Mohs scale, it can be scratched even by household dust, which contains quartz. It suits pendants, earrings and brooches better than rings worn every day. Store it on its own in a soft pouch, away from harder stones.
For your jeweler
This ruby in zoisite is untreated. Ruby in zoisite should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath.
