These are AA-grade Blue Kyanite raw blades from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Kyanite is an aluminum silicate that grows in flat, blade-like crystals with hardness that varies by direction. Each blade runs 1.50-3 inches at Mohs 5-7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite meditation stone for crystal grids and bedside tables.
Blue kyanite grows in long bladed crystals that split cleanly along one direction and resist splitting the other. The color ranges from pale sky to deep denim. It's one of the few stones that polishes well while keeping its raw, fibrous feel.
Named from the Greek 'kyanos' meaning 'dark blue.' Valued by healers and metaphysical practitioners worldwide for alignment and communication work.
Hand-selected from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
In crystal traditions, blue kyanite is often associated with settling into who you already are, a simple anchor during practice, and listening to the quieter signals. It's traditionally linked to the throat and third eye chakras. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Blue Kyanite sits at 5-7 (anisotropic, varies by direction) on the Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a knife, so keep it dry and store it on its own. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural blue kyanite from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Untreated.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1.5 to 3 inches on its longest side and weighs 10 to 30 grams. About 32 to 64 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
