This Ruby in Fuchsite Diamond Carving combines pink-red Ruby with a contrasting green Fuchsite-rich matrix. Its polished face reveals scattered Ruby patches, pale mineral markings and individual variations in the surrounding green material.
Under ultraviolet light, the Ruby areas fluoresce red, adding another way to appreciate the mineral contrast. This combination of daylight colour and fluorescence makes the carving an appealing addition to a polished mineral or fluorescent specimen collection.
Mineral Composition
Ruby is the red variety of Corundum, Al₂O₃. Fuchsite is a green, chromium-bearing variety of Muscovite mica.
The elongated diamond outline is a carved decorative form. Each piece displays a different distribution of Ruby within the green matrix.
Ultraviolet Fluorescence
The Ruby areas display red fluorescence under ultraviolet illumination. The brightness and extent of the response vary with the Ruby distribution, lamp wavelength and viewing conditions.
Fluorescence is visible while a suitable ultraviolet light source illuminates the stone; it does not mean the carving glows continuously in darkness.

Care
Although Ruby is hard, the surrounding mica-rich material is much softer. Protect the polished surfaces and pointed corners from knocks and scratches. Clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking, harsh chemicals, steam and ultrasonic cleaners.
