Ruby zoisite is a rock that was first discovered in Tanzania in 1949. Tom Blevins, an English prospector, discovered it in the Longido mining district near the foot of the Kilimanjaro mountains. The majority of ruby zoisite comes from Merelani Hills in northern Tanzania. It can also be found in India, Zambia, and Austria.
