The deep blue gradation of the crystals is so beautiful that it reminds one of the seas of a foreign country one visits on a trip. Some people travel to the countries where it is mined, such as Brazil, Kenya, and the United States, in search of this beauty. It fascinates not only collectors but all gem lovers.
In this article, we will introduce the meaning and effects of kyanite, its characteristics as a mineral, and its compatibility with other stones.
What is Kyanite?
The name Kyanite comes from the Greek word "Kyanos," which means deep blue. As its Japanese name, "Ranshoseki," suggests, Kyanite is a mineral characterized by its deep blue color like the sea and glass-like luster.
The gradation created by the overlapping crystals is unique, with no two pieces having the same expression, and their one-of-a-kind clear beauty is their charm. Kyanite, which has particularly high transparency, is as beautiful as blue sapphire and is rare as a gemstone.
However, kyanite has the unusual property of being easily broken only in certain directions and having different hardness depending on the direction of the crystal, which is why it is also known as "disthene."
If you want to enjoy the natural color of the stone, we recommend keeping it in its uncut rough form.
Kyanite Color Meanings
Kyanite is said to have a strong energy that leads to "spiritual growth." Its deep blue color is impressive, but it actually comes in a variety of colors, each with its own meaning.
Orange Kyanite
Orange Kyanite is said to have a strong power to expel negative energy that has built up in the mind and body.
The deep orange color containing iron may give you a completely different impression from kyanite at first glance. Its unique linear crystals and cute, thick color like taffy candy are its charms. It is often mined in Tanzania, and highly transparent stones are particularly rare.
Green Kyanite
Green Kyanite is said to increase self-esteem and help establish one's identity.
When kyanite is mixed with traces of vanadium, it turns a bright, beautiful green. The higher the transparency, the rarer it is, but opaque stones and those with inclusions are also popular for their unique appeal.

These two effects of Kyanite are said to support the love lives of its owner, but what exactly is the connection to love? Let's take a closer look at why.
Enhances insight and judgement
Kyanite's deep blue color has the effect of enhancing the owner's insight and judgment.
When you have kyanite, you may realize that your worries are not really that big a deal, and you may have an idea of how to solve the root cause. This is because kyanite heals emotional wounds and past trauma, and organizes your thoughts.
When people have negative experiences, they tend to think negatively, "It won't work out anyway," or "I'm sure I'll fail again." At times like these, Kyanite will gently support you and give you the power to see things calmly.
In addition, the insight and judgment that Kyanite brings also leads to a sharp sense that does not miss opportunities. This sense is very useful not only in the business but also in the romantic field, and you will not miss the signs of meeting or falling in love. You will be able to notice romantic opportunities that you have missed so far, and you will have a clear feeling of the premonition of a new love.
You can overcome addiction
Kyanite is one of the gemstones that is said to have a strong effect in cutting off relationships.
- You are in a dependent relationship with your partner
- I'm trapped in a relationship that doesn't make me happy
For those who are suffering from such fruitless love, Kyanite gives the strength to escape from their current situation.
However, Kyanite does not forcefully cut off bad relationships. It is important to remove the dependency on the other person from within yourself to cut off ties. Kyanite gives the owner a calm judgment and returns thoughts that are being swayed by love to a normal state.
It naturally guides you to realize that it's time to let go and become independent.
Immediately after cutting ties, you may feel weak and want to contact the other person or find out what they're up to. Even at times like these, Kyanite's strong vibrations will support the owner's sense of independence and give them the strength to overcome temptation.
Kyanite will be a powerful ally for those who want to put painful relationships behind them and move forward to a state where they can look forward to new encounters.

Recommended ways to purify Kyanite
Some people say that kyanite does not need to be purified, but we recommend purifying it if you feel that the stone is getting tired.
Kyanite has a hardness of 4.0 to 7.5. Kyanite has a property called "cleavage" that makes it prone to breaking in certain directions, and its hardness in the weak direction is 4.0. It is a delicate stone that may break if subjected to strong impact, so please handle it gently.
[Things to prepare]
- A transparent glass (or plastic) container
・Neutral detergent (dishwashing detergent)
・Tissue or paper towels
*Instead of using a tall glass, use a shallow bowl with a wide mouth.
*For soft gemstones with low hardness, we recommend using a plastic container to prevent them from getting scratched.
*Please note that this method is not suitable for gemstones that are sensitive to water, such as pearls and coral.
[Purification procedure]
(1) Fill a transparent container with water until the entire gemstone is submerged, then place the gemstone inside.
(2) Add a few drops of neutral detergent to the container and leave it for at least 6 hours.
(3) Change the water and leave it for about 40 minutes without adding detergent.
(4) If air bubbles remain around the gemstone, the purification is not complete, so repeat the steps above. Once no more air bubbles remain, carefully wipe off the water.
