Those who are fascinated by the mystical properties of gemstones will definitely appreciate the kyanite gemstone for its wide variety of uses and healing properties. CrystalBenefits gives you the meaning, properties, and uses of the kyanite gemstone.
Did You Know?
Kyanite is one of only two gemstones in the world that neither accumulates nor retains negative energy. Hence, it does not need to be cleansed.
Gemstone therapy is an interesting and growing form of alternative treatment, and there are many of us who turn to these pretty stones for help during troubled times. Every gemstone is said to possess some or the other mystical property, but very few gemstones are actually as useful and versatile as kyanite.
Found in Switzerland, Brazil, Myanmar, and the hilly regions of the U.S., the kyanite gemstone was discovered back in the nineteenth century. Apart from being renowned for its metaphysical properties, kyanite also has its uses in the industrial world. It is used very commonly in ceramics, bathroom fixtures, and abrasives, among others.
Meaning
✦ This stone gets its name from the Greek words ‘kuanos’ or ‘kyanos’, which means deep blue. However, this stone is also found in shades of gray, green, yellow, and white. More than often, kyanite is a rich blue, streaked with any of the shades of the aforementioned colors. Every different color is believed to add its own properties to the already enriching gemstone.
✦ It is believed that ancient explorers used the kyanite gemstone suspended by a human hair as a compass on their expeditions. Though this is not a widely known fact, some experts believe that this gemstone has the ability to follow the Earth’s magnetic force when suspended by a human hair.
✦ The kyanite gemstone is said to be most suitable for the zodiac signs of Aries, Libra, and Taurus, and is said to be associated with the natural element of air. Different types of kyanite, depending on color, are attuned with different chakras.
Uses
In Personal Life
Kyanite helps one get through and overcome several seemingly impossible personal obstacles. It is believed that it helps to heal damaged relationships, inspires loyalty, and helps one get out of any disputes or disagreements successfully. In case of any difficult negotiation, this gemstone is said to provide an easy way out. It is believed to clear misunderstandings, and open up newer communication pathways as well.
At the Workplace
This stone is believed to promote communication at the workplace, especially if one finds it hard to either understand others, or let his feelings known to others. Believers are encouraged to wear or have a kyanite gemstone nearby when addressing a large group of people for timely aid when it comes to answering impromptu questions or making a point clear enough to be understood by the entire group perfectly.
For Direction
Sometimes, we let circumstances get the best of us, and feel lost and aimless in life without knowing what direction to follow. This may be due to the loss of a friend or relative, a job, or a broken relationship. At such times, wearing or using a kyanite gemstone is believed to be very fruitful. This stone helps us to pull ourselves together and get on with life without feeling lost or aimless. Experts suggest holding on to the stone every night before going to bed, and letting images of different ideas take shape in your mind until you’re very clear about what your calling is.
In Feng Shui
Feng Shui also promotes this versatile gemstone. It is considered appropriate to place this gemstone in the bedroom as a showpiece, especially in a child’s bedroom. The energies and vibrations of this stone are calming, as well as nourishing for those around it. Similarly, it can be placed in an office for the same effect.
Other Uses

- If someone you know is having trouble interacting with his or her peer group, say a child, because of emotional or physical differences, you can place the kyanite gemstone next to his or her regular clothing.
