Most collectors know about the zoisite var. tanzanite gem mines in Arusha, Tanzania but this is the first I have heard of zoisite from Baja, Mexico. The main crystal is 8.3 cm in length and is doubly terminated and apparently twinned. The crystal is lustrous and translucent with dark golden amber color. There is an impression from what was another zoisite crystal on the upper third of the main crystal, but to me this adds to its beauty.
