 | "Kyanite is a polymorph with two other minerals; andalusite and sillimanite. A polymorph is a mineral that shares the same chemistry but a different crystal structure with another, or other, minerals. Kyanite is an attractive mineral that has a near sapphire like blue color in some especially nice specimens. Kyanite has a unique characteristic in that it has a wide variation in hardness, in the same crystal. The hardness of kyanite is approximately 4.5 when scratched parallel to the long axis of the crystal and approximately 6.5 when scratched perpendicular to or across the long axis. Other minerals usually have variable hardness on different crystal faces due to a different concentration and oreintation of the atoms in the structure.
Metaphysical: Kyanite is excellent for attunement and meditation. Calming and tranquilizing. Aids self-expression, communication, and psychic abilities. Kyanite also connects to guides. It supports continuation of difficult projects and instills compassion. Some writings say kyanite aligns chakras and subtle bodies instantly. Other reports say it dispels blockages, confusion, illusion, anger and frustration as well as restores Qi. Kyanite never needs cleaning. Kyanite does not hold negativity and increases linear thought. Kyanite balances yin-yang and treats muscular disorders, fevers, urogenital system, thyroid and parathyroid and in addition, it is said to balance adrenal glands, throat and brain."
