Fuchsite Sphere with Ruby Inclusions – Rarity from India

A fuchsite sphere with ruby inclusions from India. Red ruby crystals prominent in a green fuchsite matrix, visible from every direction across the curved spherical surface.

The material selection reflects a premium classification. Only pieces with particularly clearly visible ruby crystals in the fuchsite matrix receive this designation. Here, the ruby inclusions are prominent and high-contrast.

Indian deposits in Karnataka are the globally documented premium source for ruby in fuchsite. The metamorphic material genesis in chromium-bearing deposits produces both ruby and fuchsite synchronously, a geologically unusual constellation.

Ruby is the red variety of corundum (Al2O3). Fuchsite is a chromium-bearing form of muscovite mica. Both minerals share chromium as a coloring element, which explains the optical complementary contrast of red and green.

The spherical cut highlights the material composition from every viewing angle. Under direct lighting, the ruby parts glow as red dots in the green matrix.

An Indian collector's item with documented Karnataka provenance, prominent ruby visibility, and an exceptional mineral combination. The combination of brightly glowing red ruby crystals and green fuchsite matrix creates a complementary contrast that achieves maximum visual impact under direct lighting.
