Wear Kyanite for the Blues

Kyanite is a beautiful mineral believed by some to

quiet the mind and dissolve emotional confusion. It

has also been used to help restore energy balance

and create tranquility.

 

What Is Kyanite?

This semiprecious gem is comprised of aluminum

silicate. It’s commonly found in aluminium-rich

metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock,

according to Wikipedia. It’s hardness varies along

its crystal structure.

 

More than the Blues

Kyanite is most often available in cool, soothing

shades of deep-blue. It’s coloring isn’t usually

consistent throughout the stone. Streaks or splotches

of another color are common. It can also be colorless,

white, gray, green, black, orange or yellow. Vibrant

blue and blue-green coloring are most popular.

 

Uses of Kyanite

This crystal mineral is certainly used in beautiful

jewelry. However, it’s also used in materials

needing to withstand high temperatures such as

porcelain plumbing fixtures and dishes.

 

Jewelry-Making Ideas

 Choose a pretty kyanite pendant and string it

on a silver chain. Yes, jewelry-making can be

this easy.

 Use kyanite beads of three different sizes (for dimension and eye appeal) to

make a bracelet. Finish it off with a distinctive toggle clasp or simply string it

on easy elastic.

 Make a pair of statement earrings using large, bright kyanite beads in a any

shape — square, oval or coin/round. Attach the beads to chandelier earring

hardware to make long, multi-strand dangles.
