Appearance & origins
Kyanite is typically found in long, blade-like crystal formations. It is often a striking blue, ranging from pale to deep shades, but can also appear in green, black, gray, or even colorless varieties. Its texture is fibrous and striated, with a pearly or vitreous luster. Unique to Kyanite is its variable hardness, which differs along its length and width.
Kyanite is commonly found in metamorphic rocks and is mined in locations such as Brazil, Switzerland, the United States, India, and Nepal. It forms in environments with high pressure and low temperature, often as a result of regional metamorphism.

Safety
Warnings: Kyanite is non-toxic and safe to handle, but it is not recommended for use in crystal elixirs, particularly those involving direct immersion in water, as prolonged contact with water can weaken its structure.
Care: Store Kyanite separately from harder crystals to prevent scratches or damage to its delicate, fibrous structure. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or harsh chemicals, and handle with care to prevent chipping.
