AnyoliteAnyolite is considered a variety of the mineral zoisite. Found in Kenya and Tanzania, anyolite is actually a metamorphic rock composed of intergrown green zoisite , black hornblende, and ruby . It is said to be named after the Maasai word anyoli, meaning "green." Anyolite is also referred to as ruby in zoisite or Tanganyika artstone. The strikingly contrasted colours make anyolite a popular material for sculptures and other decorative objects. It was first discovered near Longido, Tanzania in 1954. |
