Description

Locality: India

Description: Ruby in Fuchsite is a unique and attractive mineral combination where ruby crystals are embedded within a green fuchsite matrix. Ruby is a red variety of corundum (aluminum oxide) and owes its red color to the presence of chromium. Fuchsite is a variety of muscovite, which is a type of mica. It is known for its shimmering, green color, which also comes from the presence of chromium. 

Like many ruby specimens, the ruby embedded in these tumbles fluoresces a bright red color when exposed to longwave UV light.

Chemical Composition: K(Al,Cr)₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂ (fuchsite), Al₂O₃ (ruby)
