andesine
Andesine is a silicate mineral, a member of the plagioclase feldspar solid solution series. Its chemical formula is (Ca, Na)(Al, Si)4O8, where Ca/(Ca + Na) (% Anorthite) is between 30%-50%. The formula may be written as Na0.7-0.5Ca0.3-0.5Al1.3-1.5Si2.7-2.5O8.〔
The plagioclase feldspars are a continuous solid solution series and as such the accurate identification of individual members requires detailed optical study, chemical analysis or density measurements. Refractive indices and specific gravity increase directly with calcium content.〔Klein, Cornelis, and Cornelius S. Hurlbut, Jr., ''Manual of Mineralogy,'' Wiley, 20th ed. 1985, p. 455 ISBN 0-471-80580-7〕
==Name and discovery==
Andesine was first described in 1841 for an occurrence in the Marmato mine, Marmato, Cauca, Chocó Department, Colombia.〔〔 The name is for the Andes due to its abundance in the andesite lavas in those mountains.〔〔
In the early 2000s, red and green gemstones began to be marketed under the name of 'Andesine'. After some controversy, these gemstones were subsequently discovered to have been artificially-coloured.〔http://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/FA13-oregon-sunstone-pay〕
