Ruby in fuchsite is a natural stone in which ruby (corundum) is intergrown with green fuchsite, a chrome-bearing mica. Notable sources include India (Karnataka), Madagascar, Brazil and Zimbabwe. This item is a palm stone, supplied per the product page as a set of 7 to 10 pieces.
2. History
Fuchsite is named after the 19th-century German mineralogist Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs. Ruby fuchsite, with its vivid red-and-green contrast, has become a well-liked material in the modern metaphysical and decorative market.
3. Usage
The product page notes that each palm stone is carved and polished to a silky-smooth finish that fits comfortably in the hand, making it ideal for meditation, energy work, personal growth and retail display. Mica is fairly soft and cleaves in layers, so scratches and prolonged soaking should be avoided and a soft cloth used for cleaning.
4. Function
The product page describes the soothing green of fuchsite as representing emotional renewal, compassion and balance, while the ruby inclusions add passion, courage and dynamic life force, resonating with the heart and root chakras. Practically, the palm stone serves for hand-held calming, decoration and display, and the page notes that premium-grade material is supplied in bulk.
