Item Description
Typically these stones are found with Ruby and Zoisite together, but this one has only the chrome green Zoisite with minor black schist. For reference, the 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 nice "Triangle" cabochon stone green Zoisite that would make a nice addition to any collection.
