Brief Description: Kyanite is an aluminium silicate mineral. Kyanite occurs in high pressure metamorphic rocks, often in quartz veins. Kyanite is characterized by its colour (usually blue), differing hardness, perfect cleavage and bladed crystal form. Kyanite occurs in semi transparent crystal blades, displaying an interesting bi-colour banding of blue and green.

Mythology:  Natural Kyanite Gemstone, also referred to as Cyanite in ancient literature, derives Kyaniteits name from the Greek word ‘kyanos’, meaning blue. It can be found in aluminum rich metamorphic pegmatites or sedimentary rocks. The gemstone kyanite has other names like disthene and munkrudite that are associated with it. The white-grey kyanite is also known as 'rhaeticite'.

Usage: Kyanite is one of the index minerals that are used to estimate the temperature, depth, and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism.  Color varieties include recently discovered orange kyanite from Tanzania. The orange color is due to inclusion of small amounts of manganese (Mn3+) in the structure. Kyanite is used primarily in refractory and ceramic products, including porcelain plumbing fixtures and dishware. It is also used in electronics, electrical insulators and abrasives.
