These stunning beads feature genuine natural ruby zoisite in a unique faceted coin shape.
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.
About the Coin / Disc Shape:
The flat round disc (coin) shape is a versatile bead silhouette that sits beautifully in layered designs, multi-strand bracelets, and as spacer elements between larger beads. When faceted on both flat surfaces, these beads catch light from every angle while maintaining a low profile perfect for delicate work.
Size:
These beads are approximately 4mm in diameter, making them ideal for delicate designs, intricate patterns, and spacer elements.
