Ruby in Pargasite from Mundarara mine, Tanzania

Ruby in Pargasite from the Mundarara Mine, Longido District, Arusha Region, Tanzania

Small, low grade crystals of Ruby in dark green Pargasite. These specimens are probably best shown under UV light, where the Ruby glows a bright pink.

Under regular light, they are a very dark green glittery mineral with small patches of dark red - similar in appearance to Ruby in Zoisite but a little darker and with a different luster.
