Gemstone Details
The name Kyanite is derived from the Greek word Kyanos meaning
blue, and the most popular varieties display the most intense cornflower
blues that appear to be almost like sapphire, as well as the greenish
blues that are reminiscent of the aquamarine.
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.
