Kyanite
Aluminum silicate
Kyanite forms long, flat, prismatic crystals, often in association with other minerals as quartz, garnets, andalusite, staurolite, and biotite. It has an unique unusual hardness property – in the longitudinal direction it is 4.5, and in the transverse direction is much higher – 6.5 . This make it difficult to work with in the jewelry industry. It is very prized by mineral collectors. It has different colors – blue, green, black, white, gray, pink, yellow and has a vitreous, pearly, or dull luster and white streak.
Deposits are found in many places around the world, but the biggest are in Brazil, USA, Canada, Russia, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Kenya, South Africa and China.
