I've really been loving Andalusite lately. It really does seem to be an up-and-coming favourite among jewelry designers and it really is a fantastic gem. Faceted andalusite brios look great, they've got red, green, and yellow colours that resembles a muted form of iridescence.
Andalusite is a polymorph [kyanite and sillimanite], it's pleochroic so it shows different colours in different directions and it's really affordable too. How did I not discover this until now! I'm usually quite well up about these things.

Bestbeads had some for sale on Etsy, they're all sold out now but there's a good picture of it: - http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5429373
