Kyanite Crystal Healing Properties

Kyanite is a stone of connection, of building bridges of light between disparate aspects of experience. This bridging is healing for blockages in the energetic field, emotional blocks between people and energy gaps caused by physical trauma. Kyanite will help you forge your own unique path, strengthening intuition, bringing together skills and knowledge and cutting through uncertainty. It enhances telepathy, lucid dreaming, astral travel, psychic ability and energy transfer. It is believed to assist in creating new neural path ways around damaged areas of the brain.

History and Uses

Kyanite derives its name from the Greek word kuanos meaning deep blue and used to be named Disthene meaning two strengths, referring to the different hardness of the perpendicular axes of each blade. Blue, black, green and orange Kyanite are used for metaphysical purposes but it can be found in a range of colours including pink, white, yellow and grey. Kyanite has heat-resistant applications in the industrial world and has been used in the porcelain of dentistry and bathroom ware, as brake pads and grinding discs and in kiln bricks.
