Andesine is a relatively new addition to the gemstone world, and its unique properties and features make it an excellent choice for jewelry lovers. We will delve into the various aspects of Andesine in detail and explore what makes it so special.
What is Andesine?
Andesine is a type of feldspar mineral that is usually found in volcanic rocks. It was first discovered in the Andes mountains of South America, and hence the name Andesine. Andesine comes in a variety of colors, including red, green, yellow, and brown. The red variety of Andesine is particularly rare and highly sought after. Andesine is a relatively new gemstone and was first introduced to the market in the early 2000s.
Properties of Andesine:
Andesine is a hard and durable gemstone, with a Mohs scale rating of 6.5 to 7.0. It has a vitreous luster and is transparent to translucent. The gemstone is known for its pleochroism, which means it exhibits different colors when viewed from different angles. Andesine is also unique in that it can exhibit a phenomenon called labradorescence, which is a type of iridescence seen in Labradorite gemstones.
Types of Andesine:
Andesine can be classified into three types based on its color and place of origin - Andesine-Labradorite, Andesine-Sunstone, and Andesine-China. Andesine-Labradorite is found in the United States and Canada and is characterized by its labradorescence. Andesine-Sunstone is found in Oregon and is characterized by its red, orange, and yellow colors. Andesine-China, as the name suggests, is found in China and is characterized by its green and yellow colors.
Uses of Andesine:
Andesine is a versatile gemstone and is used in various forms of jewelry, including rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. It is a popular gemstone for its unique properties, including its pleochroism and labradorescence. Andesine is also used in the manufacture of precision instruments, including geophysical equipment and telescopes.
Conclusion:
Andesine is a relatively new gemstone that has gained popularity due to its unique properties and features. It comes in a variety of colors and is versatile in its uses. With a high level of durability and hardness, Andesine is an excellent choice for jewelry and precision instruments. Its rarity and beauty make it a valuable addition to any collection.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
