A near 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 nicely cut, this gem is much larger than we typically see - these are no longer common at all in the marketplace. Fresh with a US recut and simply a fantastic example of the species.
