Like Tanzanite, Andesine has a hardness of 6.5 (Mohs scale), and is therefore suitable for jewelry. Unlike Tanzanite, these stones are not heated or enhanced in any way, the bright beautiful colour (mainly due to copper in its chemical make up),  is as it came from the earth, and not induced by heat treatment, as is almost always the case with Tanzanite. In addition, Andesine is considerably rarer than Tanzanite. 

 

The green flash is apparent in sunlight!
