Andalusite

Item Description

Andalusite is uncommon in gem grade material. Although the species is found in many world localities, it is often opaque, so transparent examples are desirable. Some of the best examples are the beautiful stones from Brazil. This particular gem is a beautiful well-cut, virtually eye-clean, trichroic red, orange and green "Square" cut gemstone of Andalusite from Bahia. The pleochroism of Andalusite is distinctive and extremely attractive, and you can see multiple colors exhibited in this stone when it's viewed face up.
