Red Andesine is a rare and striking variety of andesine feldspar, known for its vibrant red to orange-red hues. Its color can range from a deep, fiery red to a lighter, coppery tone, often with subtle variations that give the stone a captivating depth. This unique coloration makes Red Andesine a popular choice for collectors and gemstone enthusiasts, often compared to the colors found in sunstone or certain types of labradorite.

Red Andesine is typically sourced from regions like Tibet, China, and the Congo. With a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, it is suitable for various jewelry settings, though it requires careful handling to prevent scratches. When cut and polished, Red Andesine displays a beautiful luster, and some stones may exhibit a faint schiller effect—a metallic-like sheen caused by light reflection within the stone.

Its rarity, combined with its unique coloration, makes Red Andesine a desirable gemstone for custom jewelry and collector’s pieces. It provides an uncommon and eye-catching alternative to more traditional red gemstones like ruby or garnet, offering a distinct and naturally beautiful addition to any fine jewelry collection.
