This lovely and unique hair clip features a beautifully colored natural Ruby in Zoisite cabochon that measures approximately 1 3/8" by 3/4".  It is surrounded by a pretty combination of hand stitched seed beads, and was finished on the back with ultra suede. It was then affixed to a sturdy antiqued brass hair clip, which measures 3 inches in length. 

Ruby zoisite is the natural combination of both ruby and zoisite crystals in a single specimen. It is also known as 'anyolite', a name derived from the Masai word for 'green' (anyoli). Other name variations include "ruby-in-zoisite" and "Tanganyika artstone". Ruby-zoisite was discovered at the Longido mining district in northeast Tanzania by Tom Blevins, an English prospector. To this day, Tanzania remains the only source for ruby-zoisite.

This one of a kind hair clip will arrive in a pretty cotton-filled gift box and ships for free within the US!
