However, Kyanite's easy to wear amiable color, unlike its sapphire and aquamarine counterparts, is actually quite affordable. As kyanite, it is fair to say, is suitable for most any skin tone and looks wonderful set into silver or any shade of gold.  This striking color commands and air of individuality and brings self confidences as well as self esteem.

Kyanite is a rare polymorph that displays two separate hardness’s within one gem; a unique characteristic among gem types. Much like Diamonds, Kyanite has perfect cleavage in one direction, this combined with its varying hardness makes Kyanite quite a challenging gem to cut – thus the quality of faceting for Kyanite is an important value consideration. Like all fine gemstones, Kyanite should be treated with the respect it deserves.

Occurring in a wide variety of locations around the world, the best quality Kyanite hails from the Kali Gandaki Region of West Central Nepal and Tibet.
