Found mainly in India, ruby fuchsite is a popular healer’s sone and is often used to connect the chakras.
RUBY FUCHSITE (ˈɹuːbi \ˈf(y)ükˌsīt\) is a combination of the crystals ruby and fuchsite. It is commonly found in India, although it is also found in places such as Ethiopia. Fuchsite’s chemical composition is K(Al,Cr)2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2, and ruby’s composition is Al2O3 + Cr. The fuchsite ranks between 2 and 2.5 on the Mohs scale, while the ruby sits at a 9.
Fuchsite is named after the German mineralogist Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs. It has very low levels of radioactivity, and will glow green when lit by long-wave UV light. Fuchsite is a kind of muscovite, and the green coloration is caused by the substitution of aluminum for chromium. The more chromium present, the more vibrant the green color.
Ruby’s coloration is also due to chromium, and it gets its name from the Latin “ruber”, meaning “red”. The chromium inside a ruby actually absorbs yellow-green light, and will re-emit it, causing it to glow under a UV light. This property led to the invention of the first laser by Theodore Maiman in 1960.
