A striking and colorful mineral specimen with a rough, irregular shape is captured in a close-up against a stark black background. The rock displays a fascinating contrast of a light green or greenish-white matrix interspersed with vibrant, vivid pink or fuchsia crystalline formations. The pink areas appear as distinct crystals or granular inclusions, creating a highly textural and visually appealing surface. This particular combination of colors often suggests the presence of Zoisite (the green-grey mineral) with Ruby inclusions (the pink red crystals), a sought-after gem known as "Ruby in Zoisite." This mineral is highly prized for lapidary work, carving, and as a decorative or ornamental stone, in addition to being a collector's specimen. This unique geological sample was photographed at the Chongqing Natural Resources Popular Science Museum, offering a detailed view of Earth's natural artistry.
