A Brief Introduction

Green Kyanite crystal close-up
Green Kyanite
Green Kyanite is a blade-like aluminium silicate crystal that appears in soft to vivid greens, often with distinct linear striations along its length. It is typically set in protective bezels or kept as raw blades and tumbled pieces rather than in high-impact rings. In crystal work it is chosen for alignment, energy flow and honest, heart-mind communication.

Origin & History

Where Green Kyanite comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Kyanite is an aluminium silicate mineral that forms in high-pressure metamorphic rocks such as schists and gneisses. Its chemistry can also crystallise as andalusite or sillimanite, with kyanite representing the high-pressure branch of this trio. Green Kyanite gains its colour from trace elements that tint the usually blue mineral into shades of pistachio, sage or teal. The crystals grow as elongated blades with pronounced cleavage and striations, giving them a fibrous, layered appearance. This structure means kyanite can be relatively hard across the blades but more fragile along their length, so cutters and wearers treat it gently. Symbolically, Green Kyanite is associated with alignment, energy flow and communication that connects head and heart. Many people work with it when they want to streamline priorities, speak more honestly or allow energy to move instead of fragmenting in many directions.
