Our Price: $59.99  

Product Code: RRC-KYM

Kyanite is a typically blue aluminosilicate mineral, found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock. It is the high pressure polymorph of andalusite and sillimanite, and the presence of kyanite in metamorphic rocks generally indicates metamorphism deep in the Earth's crust.

Named in 1789 by Abraham Gottlieb Werner from the Greek word "kyanos", meaning "blue," the common colour of the species. The French spelling, "Cyanite", was commonly used by mineralogists through much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Mined in India.
