Kyanite is found around the world, with major deposits found in Switzerland, Brazil, Russia, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and in the eastern United States.
This attractive blue mineral often appears as large, well-formed bladed crystals, making it a popular material for gemological collectors and jewelry makers alike. Kyanite has an almost fibrous appearance, especially as stones are often left rough to prevent stone loss during polishing.
Kyanite is strongly believed to facilitate meditation. This gemstone is thought to align with all chakras automatically, like wi-fi that's perpetually on. Its abilities are also believed to include stimulating communication, growing awareness of others, perseverance against challenges, promoting balance of female and male energies and much more!
Blue Kyanite strengthens the voice, soothes the throat, useful for speakers and vocal performers.
Kyanite is a gemstone that you will rarely encounter in the typical jewelry store. Most people have not heard of kyanite, as it is infrequently used in jewelry. It is an "exotic" gem. Perhaps that is what makes it so interesting?
If you are interested in kyanite as a gemstone or in jewelry, the best place to find it is in artisan jewelry stores or in jewelry stores that are associated with a mineral dealer. The people who own these businesses are likely to be interested in kyanite and incorporate it into their product line.
