Also spelled cyanite and sometime called disthene, kyanite is an aluminosilicate mineral that is found in aluminum-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rocks. It usually occurs as elongated blades and is often accompanied by garnet, quartz and mica. Kyanite is most commonly found in the blue variety but has other colors including indigo, black, white, gray, pink, yellow, orange and the rarest color, green. Kyanite is mined in the United States, Switzerland, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa, France, Kenya, Namibia and Tanzania.
History
First discovered in 1789 by German mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner, Kyanite derives it names from the Greek word, Kyanos, which translate to blue. Although considered one of the more beautiful natural minerals, Kyanite is rarely used as a gemstone due to its perfect cleavage and anisotropism quality. These two behaviors cause the stone to sometimes break during cutting and lessens it value when cut incorrectly. More common uses for Kyanite were realized during World War I when it was used as an electrical insulator in the sparkplugs of Jeeps. In modern times, it has been used in refractory and ceramic produces like plumbing and dishware. It has also been used in electronics, electrical insulators and abrasives.
