Known for its bladed crystals and royal blue color, Kyanite is a naturally occurring aluminum silicate material mined on the planet Kyanite, home planet of Superman...
(Disembodied voice): Ahhh, no.
No?
(Disembodied voice): Superman is from the planet Krypton--Not Kyanite.
Oh. So where is Kyanite from?
(Disembodied voice): Earth, where it is commonly found in
metamorphic rocks like schists and gneisses, particularly in areas that have undergone high pressure and medium to high temperatures, like the Appalachian Mountains or the Alps. Named by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1798, this gemstone derives its name from the Greek work Kyanos, meaning blue--the color most often attributed to the stone, although it can be found in a variety of hues from blue, white-gray to green.
So how come it affects Superman?
(Disembodied voice): It doesn't!
It doesn't take away his powers and leave him in a weakened state?
(Disembodied voice sighs): While it is considered a fairly strong stone with a Mohs hardness of 4-7, its strength doesn't cause super heros to lose their powers. However, it is believed to have certain powerful abilities.
Like what?
(Disembodied voice):In spiritual practices, it is believed to promote tranquility, balance and communication. It is also thought to align all chakras as well as foster self-expression and inner truth. It is said to facilitate meditation because it doesn't retain any negative energies and can be used for cleansing, raising energies, communication, and dreams.
Well that's pretty cool. Where can I find it?
(Disembodied voice): It is used in all sorts of products like ceramics, electronics, electrical insulators and abrasives.
How about jewelry?
(Disembodied voice): Oh yes! Kyanite can be found in all types of settings. Since it is pleochroic...
Pleo-what?
(Disembodied voice rolls disembodied eyes): Pleochroic. It means that the color will change depending on which direction it is viewed. This quality makes it quite desirable for use in jewelry.
Cool... but how do you know all this stuff?
(Disembodied voice): Because I am the voice of crystal reason, keeper of the...
Who?
(Disembodied voice): Never mind.
