Zoisite

  Cabbed Gemstones | 1 | 

Zoisite has been known for nearly two centuries as a sometimes ornamental stone of limited distribution. Only in 1967 was the blue gemstone variety found in Tanzania. The variety was named Tanzanite and was a surprise to mineralogists and gemologists alike in that it had come from a very un-gemstone like mineral. The blue-lavender color of tanzanite is unique and sets it apart from the other gemstones.

Besides Tanzanite, Zoisite has produced other attractive specimens that are of interest to collectors and Jewelers. A pink variety called Thulite is usually used for beads and cabochons. A brilliant green variety is associated with medium grade Rubies and is quite popular as an ornamental stone. The red rubies are often distorted and irregularly spread throughout the sea of massive Green Zoisite. It is one of the most colorful of ornamental stones. One of the rarest varieties of this Ornamental Zoisite is Blue Zoisite with Ruby. Rarely see and mostly unheard of Blue Zoisite with Ruby commands a high price among collectors and Jewelers alike.
