Ruby in Zoisite Pendant with Leaf Bail

Teardrop Ruby Zoisite natural pendant with a sterling silver leaf bail. It measures 1 1/4”.  This is another teardrop piece I added a bail to. This is handmade, nickel and lead free. The whole pendant weighs 6.58 grams, and the bail measures 3.17 mm on the inside so it can fit a chain just a bit smaller than that as long as the clasp will go through the bail. **(Information from https://thecrystalcouncil.com/crystals/ruby-zoisite-anyolite) Science & Origin of Ruby Zoisite (Anyolite) Ruby Zoisite, also known as Anyolite, is a powerful combination of two minerals that was first discovered in Tanzania. In 1949 near the foot of the Kilimanjaro mountains in the Longido mining district, Tom Belvins and a secondary gem prospector first discovered this new vein. Tom had uncovered one of the largest Ruby deposits in the world with Zoisite encasing this red gem. It’s secondary name Anyolite is derived from the Masai word meaning green and its only known locality is its original mine in Tanza
