About This Blue Kyanite

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.

These raw pieces come from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe.

Named from the Greek 'kyanos' meaning 'dark blue.' Valued by healers and metaphysical practitioners worldwide for alignment and communication work.

Traditionally Used For

Blue kyanite has long been used in practices around 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, hold it for a few breaths before a conversation that matters. There's no single right way to carry it.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Moderate

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.

  • Wipe Dry

  • Store Protected
  • Gentle Soap Only
  • Stable Room Temperature

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real blue kyanite, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural blue kyanite from Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. Untreated. Color is natural and structural.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

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.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 2 to 10 grams. About 80 to 120 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

Grade AA. Good blue color, intact blade form, natural striations and minor surface inclusions. 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.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

Zimbabwe. Other notable sources include Brazil, Nepal, and the United States. It came to us through an artisan network, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
