AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural Ruby-Zoisite Tip – Ruby-Zoisite with Ruby
Ornamental tip carved from a single natural block of ruby-zoisite, a metamorphic rock composed of green zoisite with natural ruby inclusions. The specimen was selected for material quality and subsequently worked to obtain a slender, geometric shape, suitable for display as an ornamental object or for a collection.
Zoisite constitutes the main matrix of the stone, with shades ranging from light green to deeper greens, enriched by dark inclusions and natural irregularities typical of metamorphic rocks. Within the matrix, authentic traces of ruby are visible, untreated and not artificially colored, distributed irregularly according to the natural growth of the mineral. These inclusions represent corundum nuclei formed during the metamorphic processes that affected the rock deep underground.
