Product Description:
Add vibrant, striking contrast with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Ruby Zoisite Faceted Cube Beads Strands.

Ruby zoisite is a natural gemstone that forms when ruby crystals grow within zoisite rock. It is primarily mined in Tanzania, the only significant source of this striking material. The natural stone is carefully shaped into cube beads – a clean, contemporary shape – then faceted to enhance its natural beauty and color contrast. The beads range from approximately eight to nine millimeters, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest to uniform designs. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

About Ruby Zoisite:
Ruby zoisite (also known as anyolite) is a natural gemstone composed of green zoisite matrix with inclusions of ruby corundum. It is found primarily in the Longido district of Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro – the only significant source of this striking material. The name "anyolite" comes from the Maasai word "anyoli," meaning "green." The dramatic contrast between the deep green zoisite and vibrant red ruby makes this stone highly sought after for jewelry and carving. Ruby zoisite was first discovered in 1954 and has since become a favorite among collectors and jewelry designers. The combination of ruby's passionate energy with zoisite's healing properties makes this a powerful stone for emotional balance and vitality.
