Kyanite is an aluminium silicate mineral typically found in bladed crystal formations, most commonly in striking shades of blue, but also in green, black, and orange. It is unique among crystals for its varying hardness depending on the axis (the long axis is harder than the short axis). It is known for its beautiful pearly to vitreous lustre. Due to its tendency to cleave, Kyanite is often used in rough or tumbled form, but the better material is carefully cut into cabochons for jewellery.
Kyanite is known as the "Stone of Alignment and Communication." It is one of the few crystals that never requires cleansing, as it does not retain negative energy. Its primary function is to align and balance all the chakras, effortlessly clearing pathways and meridian blockages. It is an excellent stimulator of the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, encouraging truthful communication, enhancing intuition, and bridging the gap between the mind and the heart.
Hardness: Varies significantly, ranging from 4.5 parallel to the crystal blade to 7 perpendicular to it.
Chakra: Primarily the Throat Chakra (for communication and truth) and the Third Eye Chakra (for intuition and clarity).
Zodiac Sign: Taurus, Libra, and Aries.
Benefits: Aligns and balances all chakras and subtle bodies, enhances communication, self-expression, and truthfulness, facilitates meditation and psychic abilities, never requires cleansing, and aids in dream recall and guided spiritual journeying.

How to use Kyanite
Place it in your home: Keep a piece in a communal space or a meeting centre to promote honest, clear communication and a harmonious environment free of stagnant energy.
Meditate with it: Hold the stone or place a blade on any blocked chakra (it will instinctively align it) or on the Third Eye to deepen meditation and enhance psychic visions.
Carry it: Keep a piece in your pocket or bag to maintain energetic balance throughout the day and to ensure you can articulate your thoughts clearly and truthfully.
Wear it: As jewellery (a pendant near the throat is highly effective) for continuous support in clear self-expression and maintaining an aligned energetic field.
Use for energy work: Lie down and place pieces of Kyanite on your major chakras; the stone will work automatically to align, cleanse, and balance your entire meridian system.
