"Pleochorism": absorbing different wavelengths of light differently depending on the direction of incidence of the rays, often resulting in the appearance of different colors according to the direction of view.
​

About 
Andalusite is an "aluminium nesosilicate mineral" with the chemical formula Al2SiO5. A clear variety first found in Andalusia, Spain can be cut into a gemstone (just like the one for sale here). Faceted andalusite stones give a play of red, yellow, and green colors that resemble a muted form of iridescence, although the colors are actually the result of unusually strong pleochroism.

Folklore & Healing
  • Andalusite is said to aid in discarding destructive behaviors and recover from abusive habits
  • Known as the “Seeing Stone”, as it allows one to see different facets of one’s character without bias or judgement while still remaining grounded

Our thoughts

We think everything you wear can be a "statement piece".
Sometimes that statement varies – This piece says "jeans and Aspen" and this one says "little black dress". Some say powerful, confident, sexy, seductive, aloof, timeless, classic or classy. The beauty is that the message is up to you. We're here to help you say it!
