Fuchsite Sphere with Ruby Inclusions – from India

A fuchsite sphere with ruby inclusions from India. A two-mineral composition in a spherical cut, in which red ruby crystals brightly contrast against the shimmering green fuchsite background.

Ruby-in-fuchsite is a rare collector's blend of two chromium-bearing minerals. Red ruby corundum (Al₂O₃ with chromium substitution) and green fuchsite mica (muscovite with chromium substitution) crystallize in the same metamorphic deposit from chromium-bearing solutions.

The Indian deposits in Karnataka provide this material in cutting quality. The combination of red ruby and green fuchsite creates a complementary color contrast in a single material.

The spherical shape maximizes the optical effect of the two-mineral constellation. With every turn, different ruby portions become visible, making each sphere unique.

An Indian collector's item with documented Karnataka provenance and gemological two-mineral premium classification. In collector tradition, the combination symbolizes the connection of heart power and grounding.
