Andalusite is awesome. There are 3 pegmatites in my are that carry andalusite; an un-common occurrence. I have found samples at two of them.

HAHAHA @ Tommy ... when I saw how high the grass was on the drive up I was only thinking about how many ticks I was going to be picking off of all of us! Fortunately that was ZERO. @ dave I'll have to let my hubs get back to you on that one but I'll attach some more pictures of it to maybe solve the mystery. That's definitely in the favorites pile. We were calling it a fish bone pattern. The larger not so unique pieces we are going to tumble and see what happens. When they're wet they all have really cool coloring so going to find a way to enamel them or such. We are really into displays so will probably do a shadow box with them arranged to show off the ends. As far as the rockhound path we actually started with the wire wrapping with sea glass and turns out my hubs is really good at it and I don't have the patience. At least I got him to make me a cool couple of pendants before that stuff went away to grow cobwebs. We're buying our new tumbler/shaker this week (ours finally died) after I read a bunch of these threads and I'm sure when we clean out more of the garage a tile saw and cabbing equipment is next. Mystery solved - It is just a regular quadrant where the carbon particles happened to be more pervasive. This from China:
