Ruby in Zoisite from Tanzania. Large cabinet specimen as unique piece for mineral collectors.

 

Large display specimen featuring vivid pink-red Ruby in contrasting green Zoisite from Tanzania. This striking mineral combination is among the most eye-catching in the world and is prized by collectors and gem artisans alike.

Ruby, a variety of the mineral corundum, appears here as bold inclusions within massive Zoisite, creating a dramatic natural color contrast. The coloration ranges from bright magenta to rich green, resulting in a visually stunning specimen. Its solid matrix makes it an excellent choice for display or as a reference piece for metamorphic rock identification and mineral textures.

The Tanzanian source is one of the most renowned localities for Ruby in Zoisite globally. This unique piece offers both geological significance and aesthetic appeal—a standout in any collection of rare mineral associations. Large Cab as unique piece.
