4.30 Carat Amazing Oval Checkerboard Cut Andalusite

Amazing Andalusite here. These are only mined in a few places on earth, most notably Spain, where this stone was first discovered, named for the Spanish Andalusian horses. This is a top quality Andalusite, with strong green and orange. Top quality pieces like this can often sell for over $500 per carat. Natural and untreated gemstone. Most gemstones bought online aren't very high quality. They're generally poorly cut, have weak color and too many inclusions. In order for a gemstone to qualify as jewelry grade, it has to meet all three of those quality standards -- cut, color and clarity. This gemstone is jewelry grade, and is ready to be used as the center stone for a piece of high end jewelry. We sell thousands of carats of gemstones per month. So when we set aside a gemstone as being top jewelry grade, that means that that gemstone has been chosen from hundreds of others as the very best 5% of the stones we bring in. We charge only one $5 shipping charge for all lots won. So whether you win one lot or every lot, all items won will be shipped for one flat $5 shipping charge.
