This extraordinary kyanite formation on an iron pedestal from Bahia, Brazil offers a striking mineral specimen with sculptural presence.
Description from the seller
Kyanite is a mineral composed of columnar crystals with round or square cross-sections, appearing as radiating aggregates embedded in a white metamorphic rock matrix. It is an aluminum silicate characterized by a remarkable anisotropy of hardness depending on the direction of cleavage.
Kyanite, or cyanite, derived from the Greek 'deep blue', or Distene, meaning 'two strength points', has notable properties in crystal therapy. It is considered an extraordinary connection crystal, capable of opening the centers of the mind, enhancing an individual's telepathic and psychic abilities.
The elegant nature of cyanite aggregates bestows their sculptural form with an original beauty and can enrich the spaces of the surrounding environment.
Brazilian kyanite comes from a formation of minerals mainly found in the Bahia region, in the northeast of the country. This mineral belongs to the silicate class and is primarily composed of aluminosilicates.
Kyanite forms when sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are exposed to high temperatures and pressures. In Brazil, kyanite is often found in crystalline rocks and sedimentary rocks that have undergone regional metamorphism. This metamorphic process occurs when a rock is subjected to high pressures and temperatures but does not melt. During this process, the original minerals of the rock transform into new forms, such as kyanite.
