Kyanite is a blue silicate mineral commonly found in aluminum-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rocks. It is highly regarded as the “crystal of connection” – bridging gaps in the esoteric sense.

This piercing blue mineral doesn’t accumulate or retain negative energy which eliminates the need for cleansing. Use it to cleanse other crystals, balance your energies, or to bring tranquility in your life!

Origin

Brazil and Pakistan

History

The name Kyanite was derived from the Greek word kuanos sometimes referred to as kyanos, meaning “deep blue.”

Kyanite is commonly found in the Manhattan schist. The presence of Kyanite in this area confirms that approximately 300 million years ago, the Manhattan schist was compressed under very high pressure.

It was believed that this schist was formed as a result of two land masses coming together to form the supercontinent, Pangaea. This supercontinent is what gave birth to every country here on Earth. Therefore, Kyanite is considered as one of the first minerals that shaped the Earth!

Physical Properties

Kyanite is an aluminum silicate mineral, often occurring as long, striated bladed crystals that may be transparent or translucent with a pearly sheen. The most common colors in metaphysical use are blue streaked with white, indigo, green, and black, though Kyanite may occur in white, gray, pink, yellow, and most recently discovered orange. It is rated 4.5 to 5 in the Mohs hardness scale.

Kyanite was once commonly called Disthene, which means “two strengths.” It is also known as Rhaeticide and Cyanite. Its most identifiable feature is its anisotropism, the ability to cleave perfectly in two directions with two distinctly different hardnesses on the perpendicular axes.

Metaphysical Properties

Kyanite inspires loyalty and fair treatment to others. It assists in working through disagreements and disputes, and can aid in repairing damaged relationships.

It is beneficial in:

• Negotiations
