Kyanite, a captivating aluminum silicate mineral, is renowned for its striking blue hues, often reminiscent of sapphire. What makes Kyanite particularly unique is its anisotropic hardness, meaning its hardness varies significantly depending on the crystal's orientation. This characteristic presents challenges in cutting and polishing, making expertly faceted Kyanite a prized possession. Though most often seen in shades of blue, Kyanite can also occur in other colors, including green, white, and even orange. This gem is often found in metamorphic rocks and is valued by collectors for its distinctive appearance and interesting physical properties.
