Zoisite was discovered very recently in the 18th century by the Austrian naturalist and mineralogist Sigmund Zois, Baron Von Edelstein. He sent samples of this stone to the famous German mineralogist, Abraham Gottlob Werner. The latter named this stone zoisite in honor of its discoverer, Sigmund Zois.

The name ruby ​​comes from the Latin "rubeus" meaning red. It is an extremely hard red gemstone, which owes its color to the presence of chromium atoms. The name ruby ​​zoisite comes from the association of these two natural stones: the green zoisite and the red ruby. We can also see black spots, which are in reality inclusions of hornblende, the generic name for a group of silicates.

Ruby on zoisite is sometimes found under the name of anyolite stone. The ruby ​​extracts found in zoisite stone are mostly low quality rubies, which makes its price very affordable.

Ruby zoisite is a mineral with very few myths or legends associated with it. However, in East African oral traditions, the elders speak of a magical green stone, speckled with black and red. This stone was reputed to bring abundance to hunters and to protect them from various dangers encountered such as attacks by wild animals or bad weather. Some even believed that this stone had the power to make its wearer invisible.

Ruby has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale and that of zoisite is between 6 and 6.5 on the same scale. Ruby zoisite owes its other name anyolite to a large deposit discovered in Tanzania in 1954. Its name is taken from the Maasai "anyoli" meaning green. It was mainly used to set jewelry or to be carved into ornamental or religious objects.

Zoisite is composed of aluminium and calcium silicates, ruby ​​inclusions are composed of aluminium oxide and belong to the corundum group.
