Andalusite was first discovered in Andalusia, Spain, and later found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Russia, Australia, and the United States. It is prized for its strong pleochroism, showing multiple colors when viewed from different angles. Historically, it has been used as a collector’s curiosity, and its durability makes it suitable for jewelry.
Andalusite is valued for its unique color play, durability, and rarity in large, clear stones. It is a favorite for bespoke jewelry and prized by gem collectors seeking something different. Most gems are under 2 carats; eye-clean, well-cut stones show the best color blend and highest value.
Andalusite’s changing colors are seen as a symbol of transformation, resilience, and adaptability.
