Ruby Fuchsite is a naturally occurring mineral of Green Fuchsite and Ruby. Ruby is a variety of corundum, while Fuchsite is a chrome-based mica. Interestingly, both red ruby and green fuchsite are colored by traces of chromium. It is mostly found in Brazil. This combination of stones was only recently discovered and is mostly found in Brazil and in India.

Ruby Fuchsite can vary tremendously in color, pattern and hardness depending on its exact composition and how it was cut. Fuchsite gives the colorful stone its blue green to emerald-green color, while ruby inclusions provide attractive pink and red highlights. Ruby Fuchsite is an extremely challenging material for gem cutters because of tremendous differences in hardness.

There is ruby in Ruby Fuchsite, so it is one of the fluorescent minerals you can see under a black light. The fluorescent is best seen in a dark room.
