Zoisite refers to a gray, brown, or pink mineral, used in ornamental stonework.
Zoisite which is also known as Calcium-Aluminum Silicate is also described as a gray-green mineral that occurs in cracks of igneous rock. Zoisite has three (3) known forms:
1. Anyolite a green matrix containing Rubies;
2. Tanzanite a transparent, blue-violet containing Strontium; and
3. Thulite an opaque pink crystals containing Manganese.
Zoisite was named after the Slovenian mineral collector Baron Sigismund Zois von Edelstein, who financed the expedition that discovered Zoisite.
