Zoisite
A stone of renewal, vitality and transformation, awakening the courage to grow and evolve
Quick Info
Overview
Zoisite is a deeply revitalising mineral that encourages renewal on all levels — emotional, physical and spiritual. It helps you return to yourself after challenge, awakening natural life force and reminding you that growth is still possible, even after prolonged stress.
Its grounding and heart-strengthening qualities make it a powerful ally for recovery, emotional rebuilding and reclaiming personal motivation.
What is Zoisite?
Zoisite is a calcium aluminium silicate mineral found in metamorphic and igneous environments. It appears in several significant forms: green Zoisite, ruby-in-zoisite (Anyolite), and blue-violet Tanzanite (the rare transparent variety). Its structure and chemistry allow for diverse colours and inclusions, each adding unique energetic qualities.
