Black Kyanite Raven Necklace

Kyanite is a aluminosilicate mineral that forms in elongated bladed structures, found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock. The most common form of Kyanite is Blue Kyanite, and in fact, the name "Kyanite" comes from the Ancient Greek "kyanos" which means "dark blue" and is also the root of the word "cyan." Lesser known Black Kyanite gets its deep, sometimes almost metallic coloring from inclusions of graphite and magnetite rather than the iron and titanium that causes its well-known blue coloring.

Black Kyanite is often called "Witch's Broom" due largely to its unique shape and color. But the name is appropriate in. more ways than one, as Black Kyanite has a grounding, protective energy that comes from "sweeping" out negativity. And just like a broom can be used to sweep unwanted things out, it can also be used to gather things together, making Black Kyanite unusually wonderful for providing centering and calm for those who feel scattered and upset.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
