Large Blue Kyanite on Matrix - Raw Mineral Specimen, 8 In

Kyanite takes its name from the Greek word for dark blue, and this large specimen shows why.

Blue kyanite blades sit in their natural matrix here, so you see the crystals in the rock they grew in rather than as loose pieces. That context is what makes a matrix specimen interesting to collectors, and the contrast between blue blades and host rock shows clearly on a white shelf or under a lamp. It is broad and fairly flat, which helps it sit steadily on a bookcase, mantel or desk. A thoughtful choice for a geology lover, a blue stone collector or an office that needs a natural accent.

About Kyanite

Kyanite is an aluminum silicate that grows in long, bladed crystals, most often blue. It forms in metamorphic rocks such as mica schist and gneiss under high pressure. Its hardness changes with direction, softer along the blade than across it.

Stone Meaning: Kyanite is traditionally associated with alignment and communication.
