The disthene which is called Cyanite, Kyanite, Rhaeticite or Munkrudite according to the elements incorporated by substitution in their structure is a mineral of category IX: silicates, of crude formula AI 2 SiO 5.

 

Cyanite takes a fairly wide range of colors, from colorless to black through white, gray, green, blue, pink or even yellow. Belonging to the triclinic crystalline system, Cyanite has a scaly break, a white line and a luster which can be glassy or pearly. Transparent to translucent stone, it has a density of 3.53 to 3.65.

 

The hardness of Cyanite is quite particular insofar as it varies according to the direction of elongation. It has, in fact, a hardness of the order of 7.5 in the direction of elongation while this hardness falls to 4.5 on the Mohs scale in the perpendicular direction.

The most remarkable deposits of Cyanite are found in Brazil, in North America (United States and Canada), in Italy, in France, in Nepal…

 

 

Tradition:

 

The name Cyanite (or Kyanite) is due to Abraham Gottlob Werner who was inspired by the Greek term "kuanos" which means blue, to name the stone. The stone also has other names a little less known but which refer to the same mineral as sappare, blue talc, cyanite zeolite…

The fragility of Cyanite makes it a stone little used in jewelry. Some cultures in Central Asia still make jewelry with Cyanite. The result is often spectacular given the attractive aesthetics of the stone. But unfortunately, it is an ephemeral beauty or at least dependent on protection against impact or friction with hard materials which strongly and sometimes irreparably damage the stone. Today, the stone is often cut in rectangular crystals or in cabochon to be sold to collectors and lovers of beautiful stones.
