Ruby in Fuchsite |
|
|
The green chromium-rich variety of muscovite is known as fuchsite. It can have an attractive blue-green to emerald green color that can display a sparkly shine if the crystals are small. Due to its attractive color fuchsite is often used as an ornamental stone. Fuchsite is sometimes confused with Zoisite, since both green minerals can sometimes be found interspersed with ruby. But zoisite is a distinct mineral with a different chemical composition (calcium aluminum silicate). Zoisite is also a much harder material with a hardness of 6.5 to 7.
