This is extremely rare, ruby-red variety beryl. The name bixbite is, however, controversial due to the fact that it is easily confused with bixbyite, an opaque manganese iron oxide of no gemological value, occurring, likewise, in rhyolite in the United States (Utah).
Bixbite has a different origin from that or both emerald and pegmatite beryls, being found in effusive magmatic rocks, and is seen as small crystals, yielding gems usually no more than a carat in weight, although some may be 2 or 3 carats.
