1 kg Rough Ruby in Zoisite for Tumbling.

Discover the bold natural beauty of Rough Ruby in Zoisite (Anyolite) – a striking combination of deep red ruby crystals, vibrant green zoisite, and occasional black hornblende. Each piece displays unique mottled patterns and colour zoning, making this material ideal for tumbling, cabbing, collecting, and jewellery making.

In its raw state, Ruby in Zoisite has a textured, uneven surface with visible ruby grains and natural fractures. When tumbled, it smooths into a polished mosaic effect, where ruby and zoisite contrast beautifully. The ruby areas often take on a soft sheen, while the zoisite develops a glossy green finish.

Please note: The product photo shows the stones wet to highlight their natural colours. Dry rough material will appear lighter and more matte before tumbling or polishing.
