Item Description
These Ruby / Zoisite specimens were found in Tanzania in 1954 (sometimes referred to as "Anyolite" after the Massai word for green), and are very popular among collectors either as cabochons or for carvings. This piece is a very nice "Sail Cabochon" of Ruby / Zoisite showing the purplish-red Ruby on one side and the rich green Zoisite on the corresponding side. A beautiful and larger sized stone of this classic material. Valued at $356.20 retail.
