About the stone

What is Andalusite?

Andalusite is an aluminium silicate that shows different colours from different angles. The variety chiastolite contains a dark cross pattern inside each crystal.

India has andalusite deposits; Brazil and Sri Lanka supply gem material.

Care & cleaning

Clean with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a soft cloth. Store apart from softer stones to avoid scratches.
