Ruby in Fuchsite Obelisk

A wonderful Ruby Fuchsite Obelisk which is grown and shaped in India. There are four crystals present in varying degrees. So what’s the difference? If the dominant colour (other than the crimson which is the ruby) is blue – its called ruby kyanite; but if pale green then its called ruby fuchsite; and if dark green then ruby zoisite.

The ruby is real ruby as a geologist did the black light test and it glowed! Here is a video of this specimen.

This crystal has the capacity to help heal the heart, removing any blockages to loving energies and filling the void with positive, loving energies. Read more about the shape.

This ruby in fuchsite obelisk is also a nice hand hold for meditation.
