KYANITE SPECIMENS

Kyanite is a striking, typically blue mineral known for its elongated, blade-like crystals and unique physical properties. It is an aluminum silicate mineral often found in metamorphic rocks, where it forms under high-pressure conditions. Kyanite’s vibrant color can range from light to deep blue, though it also appears in shades of green, gray, and even colorless forms. What makes kyanite particularly notable is its anisotropic hardness—meaning it has different hardness levels depending on the direction in which it is measured. This characteristic, along with its captivating color and crystal structure, makes kyanite popular among collectors, jewelers, and metaphysical enthusiasts.
