1.32 Ct. Orangish Red Andesine from United States (Oregon)

This 1.32 carat oval orangish red andesine offers an exceptionally transparent example of Oregon feldspar, presented in a faceted mixed brilliant cut that measures 8.20 x 6.62 x 4.55 mm, with an excellent polish that yields lively light return and strong sparkle. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, indicating minute internal characteristics that do not detract from overall brilliance when mounted, and which are consistent with natural growth features in plagioclase feldspars. The color intensity is vivid, a desirable saturation for collectors who value warm orange red tones, and the stone has been heat treated, a conventional and stable enhancement used to optimize hue and remove internal color zoning. Origin is United States Oregon, a source known for well formed andesine material, and each specimen is described and documented so that the technical attributes of cut, clarity, color, and treatment are clear to an informed buyer.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize ethical sourcing and transparent documentation for every gem we offer, and this andesine is no exception. Our chain of custody traces back to responsible small scale operations in Oregon where miners work with minimal environmental disturbance, adhere to land reclamation practices, and participate in fair trading relationships with downstream partners. The heat treatment applied to this stone is fully disclosed at point of sale, and we provide condition and origin notes to support the gemological description, giving buyers the confidence to understand exactly what they are acquiring. For customers who require additional assurance, we facilitate independent testing and can include a detailed report on clarity assessment and treatment disclosure.

For the conscious collector this andesine represents an attractive balance of beauty, rarity, and provenance, with vivid color and a meticulous cut that make it immediately wearable and suitable for bespoke settings. Its 1.32 carat weight and elegant oval proportions offer versatile design options, from solitaire to halo designs, while the durable polish and faceting ensure long term visual appeal with appropriate care. Educated buyers will appreciate the combination of natural origin, responsibly managed supply chain, and full treatment transparency, qualities that align the piece with an ethically minded jewelry collection.
