Ruby Fuchsite meaning:  

This is the name for the natural formation of ruby inside fuchsite.  The shade of the ruby can vary from light pink to a deep rosy purplish red.  And the fuchsite can also from light yellowish green to deep bluish green.  The key to the coloring for both the ruby and the fuchsite is chromium.  There is a similar crystal called ruby zoisite, which is a natural formation of ruby inside zoisite. 

The gemstone category called corundum includes rubies and sapphires.  The ruby in ruby fuchsite and ruby zoisite is typically opaque, unlike the transparent quality of a precious ruby which is the most precious gemstone in the world next to a diamond.

 The green portion of the stone is the fuchsite part.  It is actually a type of muscovite, which is a type of mica.  Fuchsite is also called chrome mica.

Ruby Fuchsite is not the easiest stone to cut because the hardness of of the ruby is different from the hardness of the fuchsite.  Usually the stone is cut to provide the best view of the pink ruby inclusions with a nice complement of the green of the fuchsite.   

Also known as ruby in fuchsite.  The name Fuchsite is for the German mineralogist and chemist Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs.
