4” Zoisite l like the green and black contrast, I have another with ruby through out, this only has a couple spots in it. Going to see if I can buff a better shine on it.

I've always been attracted to ruby in zoisite.  I prefer it with the small ruby crystals all over instead of a big, massive ruby crystal.  Nice looking sphere.  I'll be interested to see if you can get a better shine on it, although it's pretty just as it is.
