DESCRIPTION:

Lovely lot of Aqua Blue to an almost Electric Indigo Blue Kyanite from Tanzania. Overall this material is heavily included and it is therefore being sold as Cab and Specimen grade material. Kyanite is usually very slightly included at best and this is no exception. Most stones are fairly slender elongated crystal sections and the material is pretty uniform in shape. Some of the stones do have very distinct color banding as is common in Kyanite. We don't anticipate getting any more of this grade material in the near future and are just liquidating our current stock so don't miss out on this bargain.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Kyanite is a Sky-blue to Colorless mineral that occurs in thin-bladed crystals and crystalline aggregates. The material can occur in a variety of colors; however, most material tends to be a bluish shade and/or a greenish blue shade. Cleavage seems very distinct with some material looking kind of like mica. This looks like it is another one of those Kunzite kind of stones to cut so we don't advise this for the amateur.
