The Earth is full of extremely fascinating minerals, sometimes little known, such as cyanite. This mineral is also called disthene or kyanite. It is known for its surprising properties.

Kyanite comes from metamorphic rocks, such as mica schist or gneiss. These are rocks that have changed under the effect of heat (at low temperature) and under high pressure. When the pressure increases, kyanite transforms into sillimanite and when the temperature drops, it becomes andalusite.

This amazing phenomenon is called polymorphic transition. In chemistry and mineralogy, polymorphism is the property of a chemical substance to crystallize into different structures depending on temperature and pressure.

Kyanite belongs to the group of silicates, it is an aluminum silicate. It has the shape of a tetrahedron, which is part of the pyramid family, composed of 4 triangular faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.

Kyanite is composed of silica, magnesium, calcium, chromium, iron, etc. Depending on the nature of its components, the color of this mineral differs. This gem can be blue, green, gray, white, yellow, pink, black and sometimes colorless. Blue cyanite is the most common. In its green version, cyanite or disthene remains relatively rare. This beautiful green color is due to the presence of trivalent iron.

Its luster is vitreous, sometimes even pearly. In addition, when placed under ultraviolet rays, this mineral becomes fluorescent and luminescent. Kyanite, whatever its color, has a variable hardness, 7.5 on the Mohs scale in the length direction and 4.5 in the width direction. This stone is therefore quite fragile.

Kyanite has no particular legends. It has often been confused with other stones, such as sapphire. In 1789, Abraham Gottlob Werner (1750 - 1817), mineralogist and geologist, identified it and named it kyanite, from the Greek “kuanos” meaning deep blue.

Then in 1801, the French mineralogist René-Just Haüy (1743 - 1822) called it disthene because of the Greek “di” meaning two and “destenos” which translates to force. This is explained by the fact that this stone has variable electrical properties depending on its meaning.

Later, this stone was found under the names of flaky beryl, sappare or blue talc.

Kyanite does not need any special processing to have a beautiful color. It is often mounted on brooches, pendants or earrings. On the other hand, jewelers avoid making rings or bracelets because of the fragility of kyanite. However, the most beautiful specimens are often cut into cabochons or rectangles and are intended for collectors.

The main deposits are in India, Brazil, Canada, USA, etc.

Green cyanite is a stone of letting go. It helps to express anxieties often linked to the past and repressed. It has the reputation of being a mineral facilitating self-knowledge. Thus, it gives the strength to overcome certain psychological problems.

This soft stone is excellent for people suffering from great shyness or very complex. It soothes anxieties. It is recommended for angry or violent people, because it calms them. Wearing a green cyanite is very suitable for teenagers in full rebellion. In addition, it reassures young girls in full doubt.

Green cyanite is an anti-resignation and anti-fatalism stone. It is a stone of hope that allows you to move forward and achieve your goals. Green cyanite improves self-knowledge, sometimes leading to a change in behavior. Thus, it helps to draw on your resources and teaches self-acceptance.

At the same time, it is a stone of communication. It helps its wearer to find the right words and to know how to express themselves in public. It promotes quality exchanges with others.
