Tanzania and India
All sizes are approximate; each one-of-a-kind crystal will vary slightly.
Anyolite
No two spheres alike.
Ruby in zoisite, also known as anyolite, is deep ruby grown within green zoisite. The zoisite gives the earthy green color and the black webs of tschermakite, while the ruby inclusions glow pink to red. Color, pattern and hardness vary a lot from stone to stone, so every sphere is its own. You receive one sphere, like any of these.
It was first found at the Mundarara Mine near Longido, Tanzania, in 1954. In 2010 a celebrated 2 kilogram stone known as the Gem of Tanzania was sold.
A crystal of passion, vitality and growth.
Ruby in zoisite combines earthy zoisite and fiery ruby, and is said to hold the energy of patience and passion. With its highly energetic properties, it is believed to transmute negative energy into positive force-fields that let positive forces overwhelm negativity.
In crystal energy work it is connected to the Root, Heart and Crown chakras, and the ruby and green zoisite are used to align root to heart to third eye, bringing the chakras into balance. Its ruby is said to fire up courage and passion and stimulate the root chakra for vitality and enthusiasm for life.
Legend says ancient healers used it in ceremonies to connect with the spirit realm and induce trance-like states, believing it could unlock the universe's wisdom and bring profound cellular healing across many dimensions.
Crystals and stones have been prized through the ages for their timeless beauty, rich history and believed metaphysical properties; Spirit Magicka makes no guarantee of any mystical effect.
