| Andalusites |
Andalusite may be red, white, violet, gray, pink, red-brown, yellow, or green. Some samples are pleochroic, exhibiting as many as three colors in one stone when exposed to light. Andalusite is a polymorph with two other minerals; kyanite and sillimanite. A polymorph is a mineral that shares the same chemistry but a different crystal structure with another, or other, minerals. A unique variety of andalusite called "chiastolite" contains black or brown clay and/or carbonaceous material inclusioned in the crystal. These inclusions are arranged in regular symmetrical shapes, usually in the form of a cross or X.
Andalusite may be utilized when attempting to view different aspects of your emotional, physical, and intellectual personality. Issues may be examined rationally as andalusite assists you in seeing all the different facets of a problem. Moderation is augmented, while the stone helps you to understand the self-sacrifice is acceptable, but only as an option, not a requirement. Chivalry is also encouraged through andalusite. Recover your balance more easily when life throws you curve balls through the aid of andalusite.
