Anyolite (Ruby in Zoisite)

As is often the case with Ruby in Zoisite, being that Ruby is a very hard material and Zoisite is much softer, the polish on the two different minerals can come out different as well.

The Zoisite has a typical hard polish, while the Ruby has more of a matte to luster polish. If the Ruby had been ground to a hard shine in these stones, it is likely that much of the Zoisite would have disappeared.

That said, these stones are just gorgeous and we are really fortunate to have them and be able to offer them at a decent price.

The big bonus with these stones is that the Ruby portions glow a beautiful and very bright red under long-wave ultraviolet light.
