What is Anyolite?
Anyolite is a natural combination of two mineralogically separate components: Green Zoisite (calcium aluminum silicate) and Red/Pink Ruby (aluminum oxide). The name of the stone comes from the local word "anyoli" (meaning: green) in Tanzania.
Mohs: Zoisite 6–6.5 | ruby 9
• Density: ~3.3 g/cm³
Formula: Ca₂Al₃(SiO₄)₃OH + Al₂O₃
This striking natural color contrast due to the Ruby particles on the green background of Zoisite makes Anyolite highly valuable in jewelry and decorative objects.
