An essentially perfect example of a very underappreciated species. Andalusite is known primarily for its very strong pleochroism; the best stones will have an almost bi-color look to them, as is the case here. Totally clean and perfectly cut, this gem is considerably larger than we typically see - these are no longer common at all in the marketplace, especially in weights above 2 carats. A very beautiful stone.
