Andesite

ANDESITES FROM INDIA

Andesite is a semi-precious gemstone with a neutral, salt-and-pepper appearance to match any outfit.

Builders often use andesite stones for road gravel, bridges, and railroads. If you’ve ever seen the support beams along train tracks called railroad ties, the stones holding them up were probably andesite!

Geologists and astrogeologists have gained valuable insights from andesite stones. One example came in 2009, when researchers in Antarctica found the only known andesite meteorites on Earth, broadening the understanding of our Solar System.

Another fascinating piece of evidence we can thank andesite for is its ties to Mars. Research from 2011 revealed andesite could be part of Mars’s crust, which would prove Mars has or had volcanic activity.

On the personality side of the cosmos, andesite is a zodiac stone for Scorpio and Aries. Given both signs are traditionally ruled by Mars, it makes sense!

Andesite rocks are igneous and very similar to basalt, but with paler coloring, less iron, and less magnesium. The amount of silica in andesite is between rhyolite and basalt.

Andesite has been found to access the communicative forces of our inner-intelligence or intuition. It assists us in locating “that which has been misplaced” and in discovering and understanding previously unidentified messages from both within and outward of the self.
