Kyanite is a unique gemstone known for its distinctive bladed or fibrous crystal structure, which can appear in various shades of blue, as well as green, gray, and black. It is a polymorph with two other minerals, andalusite and sillimanite, meaning they share the same chemical composition but have different crystal structures. Kyanite is prized for its beauty and is often used in jewelry, particularly in its deep blue form.
Fun fact: Kyanite is notable for its unusual property of having variable hardness depending on the direction of its crystal axis. It is harder along its length but softer perpendicular to it, a characteristic known as anisotropy. This unique feature makes kyanite a challenging gemstone to cut and facet, but it also adds to its allure for collectors and gem enthusiasts.
