1.28 Ct. Andalusite from Madagascar

A gentle treasure from the heart of Madagascar, this transparent bi color andalusite floats between green and warm brown like a memory caught between two sunsets, weighing 1.28 carat and cut in a graceful emerald shape that stretches light across its 8.21 x 5.46 x 3.45 mm form. Its medium intense color intensity is a soft, secret glow, and the very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, speaks to natural origin and authentic character rather than perfection forged by man. An excellent polish gives each facet a mirror smoothness, allowing the stone to breathe and shift in your hand, revealing the subtle pleochroic song that makes andalusite beloved by connoisseurs. With no enhancement and an honest provenance from Madagascar, this gem is an unretouched poem of geology and time.

The 1.28 carat weight is more than a number, it is the measure of presence and rarity, a size that carries gravity without losing intimacy. Larger andalusites with such transparency and bi color harmony are uncommon, and the added carat weight elevates value because it allows the emerald cut to unfold broad, elegant facets that showcase shifting colors with every tilt. In jewelry this size translates to a ring or pendant that speaks softly but undeniably, a piece that can hold an engagement promise or a quiet heirloom story. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate stones that are honest and soulful, and this andalusite arrives as a singular expression of nature, suited to a setting where its 1.28 carat weight will command light and attention. Wear it as a symbol, give it as a vow, or cradle it in a bezel where its dimensions and polish will be admired up close, for rarity is not only about scarcity, but about the way a gem carries its light into a life.
