1.38 Carat Natural Loose kyanite Oval Shape Gem For Afghanistan Mine

About the Item

Loose Kyanite Weight : 1.38 Carat Dimension: 8 x 6.1 x 3.1 Mm Colour: Purple Origin: Afghanistan Certificate: Available Shape : Oval Kyanite is a striking gemstone renowned for its unique physical properties and vibrant colors. It is primarily composed of aluminum silicate and is typically found in metamorphic rocks. One of the most distinctive characteristics of kyanite is its anisotropic hardness, meaning its hardness varies depending on the direction of the crystal. On the Mohs scale, kyanite's hardness ranges from 4.5 to 5 parallel to the crystal length, and 6.5 to 7 across the width. This anisotropy makes it challenging to cut and shape, thus demanding skilled craftsmanship. Kyanite's name is derived from the Greek word "kyanos," meaning deep blue, which is the most common color of the stone. However, kyanite can also be found in hues of green, black, and orange, each variety offering a unique appeal. Blue kyanite, in particular, is highly prized in the gemstone market. It often exhibits a captivating translucence and can sometimes display chatoyancy, also known as the cat's eye effect, which adds to its allure. The gemstone is sourced from various parts of the world, with significant deposits found in Brazil, Nepal, and the United States. These regions produce high-quality kyanite that is used not only in jewelry but also in industrial applications. Due to its high heat resistance, kyanite is used in refractory and ceramic products. Spiritually, kyanite is believed to possess calming and grounding energies. It is often used in meditation and energy healing practices. Practitioners claim it can help align the chakras and promote a sense of tranquility and balance. Despite its beauty, kyanite remains relatively underappreciated in mainstream jewelry markets, possibly due to its variable hardness and the skill required to cut it. However, for those who appreciate its unique properties and vibrant colors, kyanite offers a distinctive and captivating choice for gemstone enthusiasts.
