Ruby-zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen.Ruby-zoisite typically exhibits three different colors: green, black and pink to red. The green is owed to its zoisite composition; pink and red hues are owed to the presence of ruby (corundum) and hornblende is the cause of its black colors. Owing to the large presence of inclusions, ruby-zoisite is an opaque stone. When polished, top-grade material exhibits a vitreous luster.
