Kyanite is like nature’s little blue treasure, showing off everything from bright, bold blues to playful patches of color all in one crystal. With its stunning hues and often impressive crystal size, this gem is a favorite for both new explorers and seasoned mineral fans who love a splash of natural beauty.
Kyanite is distinguished by its pronounced anisotropy, exhibiting variable hardness depending on the crystal orientation. It is renowned as the quintessential anisotropic mineral, with vertical hardness ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 and horizontal hardness between 6 and 7. Deriving its name from the Greek word "cyanos," meaning deep blue, this mineral elegantly reflects its characteristic rich blue hue.
