About this specimen
Experience the mesmerizing beauty of our natural Blue Kyanite cluster. This 16.23 oz Brazilian crystal specimen captivates with its vibrant hues and intricate formations. A perfect addition to your mineral collection or meditation practice, this kyanite promises to enhance both the aesthetic and energetic ambiance of any space.
Kyanite is a triclinic crystal system mineral known for its distinctive bladed crystal habit and vitreous luster. With a Mohs hardness ranging between 4.5 and 7 depending on the crystallographic direction, it offers both durability and unique textural appeal. Its chemical formula, Al2SiO5, reflects its aluminum silicate composition, contributing to its characteristic blue coloration.
This specimen originates from Brazil, a region renowned for producing high-quality kyanite crystals with intense, saturated blue tones. The cluster displays an intricate fibrous structure with semi-translucent blades that catch the light beautifully, highlighting subtle variations in color from deep indigo to lighter cerulean shades. Its natural formation and well-defined crystal edges make it a noteworthy piece for display.
Collectors value this kyanite cluster for its excellent crystallization and vibrant color, which are less commonly found in specimens from other localities. When handling, it is advisable to keep the crystal away from prolonged exposure to water and avoid harsh chemicals, as kyanite can be sensitive to physical stress due to its anisotropic hardness.
