What is Ruby Zoisite?

Ruby Zoisite is a natural intergrowth of small Ruby corundum inclusions within green Zoisite masses. Although Zoisite can be found in various shades from colorless to violet, and as orthorhombic crystals or as masses in crystalline schists, Ruby Zoisite specifically features the green, massive coarse-grained variety of the stone, often with black Amphibole minerals present (typically dark Pargasite). As a polymorph of Clinozoisite, Zoisite shares that same chemical makeup but a different crystal structure.

Other names used for this natural intergrowth of the two stones are: Ruby Zoisite, also called Ruby in Zoisite, Zoisite Ruby, or Ruby with Zoisite. 

Ruby Zoisite Meaning and Metaphysical Properties

Ruby Zoisite is the happy marriage of two beautiful natural gems: green Zoisite in its coarse-grained massive state and Ruby corundum. The intergrowth of the two stones brings harmony to their elements, creating a crystal that is associated with both the Fire element and Earth element, as well as the Root Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Heart Chakra, and Third Eye Chakra. As you can imagine, this means that Ruby Zoisite's metaphysical properties are varied and versatile! Representing the meeting point between the physical and the divine, Ruby Zoisite is known as a crystal for steadiness and confidence, capable of grounding us in the moment or motivating us to action, as well as a gem for opening the mind, strengthening psychic abilities, and receiving the wisdom of spirit guides. Ruby Zoisite is said to promote compassion in a macro sense, making us more aware of the Universal Consciousness and encouraging us to engage in emotional healing on a generational or global scale. The meaning of Ruby Zoisite is to embody the positive changes we wish to see in the world around us, transforming our goals, dreams, and ideals into actionable plans to benefit ourselves and our communities.
