.
These lovely rectangle stones are variscite with faceted ruby zoisite .Variscite is a relatively rare phosphate mineral that is sometimes confused with turquoise. It is usually greener, however, than turquoise. Variscite is sometimes used as a semi-precious stone and can make distinctive color patterns that are very attractive. For the ruby zoisite, I selected a strand that has more ruby than the zoisite. The combination in reality is quite stunning.
