Interestingly, I once carried a slim shard of Kyanite in my palm during a particularly intense face-to-face team interview. I remember nervously rubbing my thumb along its edge, and it genuinely felt like the stone was grounding me while guiding my words. Since then, it’s become my go-to crystal for clarity and presence—especially when I need to speak from a place of truth! (It helped me get the offer!)

What is Kyanite? 

Kyanite is a striking blue aluminum silicate known for its elongated blade-like crystals and unique anisotropic hardness—it’s softer along one axis and harder along another. It often forms in high-pressure geological environments, making each specimen a literal product of transformation. Often sourced from Brazil, Nepal, and the United States.

Historical Significance 

Named in 1789, Kyanite's name is rooted in the Greek word "kyanos," meaning deep blue. It has been valued for its unusual physical and energetic properties.
