“Doesn’t that kill Superman?” asked a young boy at a show once, after seeing a specimen label “Kyanite,” in our booth at a show.   The sky blue of kyanite makes it a popular stone.  Its many metaphysical properties adds to its popularity.  Any stone with natural blue color is popular as well.  Blue is representative of life and strength, thus, often the color of royalty.

I recently had time to finish these kyanite rings.  Creating in batches is easier as I made two dozen and placed them in these old ring boxes for safe keeping until our next show: Check our show schedule.

There is an old kyanite mine in Southern California, called the Blue Bird Mine.  Kyanite was mined for its use in ceramics, a good insulator.  Rich in aluminum, kyantie is found in metamorphic rock.  The kyanite of the Blue Bird mine is mostly small crystals imbedded in the host rock I believe is quartzsite.
