If you want to get technical about Kyanite, you can take a (web) page from Wikipedia, which reads in part:Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek, kyanos, meaning blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock. Kyanite is a diagnostic mineral of the Blueschist Facies of metamorphic rocks.
Kyanite is a member of the aluminosilicate series, which includes the polymorph andalusite and the polymorph sillimanite. Kyanite is strongly anisotropic, in that its hardness varies depending on its crystallographic direction. While this is a feature of almost all minerals, in kyanite this anisotropism can be considered an identifying characteristic.
Of course, we don't need long, scientific words to know that kyanite gemstone beads make very alluring jewelry. Buy a strand or two of these beads for a matching bracelet or necklace set...people will think you spent hundreds of dollars at a jewelry shop for this stunning look!
