Frequently Asked Questions About Raw Ruby on Zoisite
What is Ruby on Zoisite?
Ruby on Zoisite (also called Anyolite) is a natural gemstone where pink to red ruby crystals occur within green zoisite, sometimes with black hornblende. The vivid pink-and-green contrast makes it popular for carving, cabbing, and ornamental objects.
Is this material untreated and in raw form?
Yes. The parcel consists of untreated, rough stones in their natural, uncut state. No color or clarity enhancement is applied, preserving authenticity for lapidary work.
What sizes are included in the parcel?
The lot contains mixed sizes, generally ranging from under 50 grams up to 500 grams per piece, providing flexibility for small cabochons to larger carvings.
Is Ruby on Zoisite good for carving and cabbing?
Yes. Its contrasting colors and opaque nature make it excellent for carving and cabbing. Many artisans orient the ruby patches as focal points while keeping green zoisite as a balanced background.
Where is this Ruby on Zoisite from?
This parcel is sourced from Madagascar, a well-known origin for quality Ruby on Zoisite with striking color contrast.
How should I cut and finish Ruby on Zoisite?
Use standard lapidary techniques for opaque material: coarse shaping to reveal color zones, then progressive sanding and a final polish on softer laps. Avoid overheating and orient ruby areas for the best visual impact.
How do I care for Ruby on Zoisite?
Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and sudden temperature changes to protect both ruby inclusions and the zoisite matrix.
