It&#8217;s likely that kyanite was used over the centuries, referred to as &#8220;blue stone&#8221; or even &#8220;sapphire&#8221; before it was possible to differentiate it. The same applies to other lesser-known kyanite colors, such as pink and yellow.<br\/><br\/>Because of its low hardness (if you don&#8217;t know its optimum cutting angle, which the cutters of the time were unlikely to know), it&#8217;s unlikely that you&#8217;ll find artifacts made of, or mounted on, kyanite, as the stone would have crumbled over the years and through handling.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Kyanite was officially recognized by Abraham Gottlieb Werner in 1789, who named it after its cyan-blue color. The terms Kyanite and Cyanite are widely accepted, unlike Disthene.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today, kyanite remains little known and little used in jewelry because of its fragility, but it is highly prized by collectors for its rarity and natural beauty.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cola5677.odns.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2.jpg\" alt=\"sterling silver pendant with a blue blown glass flower in the center and surrounded by lots of small kyanite and apatite beads to illustrate kyanite jewelry.\" class=\"wp-image-3244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gemgazette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/glassAndKyanite2-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Blown glass, kyanite and apatite pendant &#8211; Laura Holm, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 DEED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-nv-site-bg-color has-cool-to-warm-spectrum-gradient-background has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e24680cd327188ed49a8c6b8bebbbebc\" id=\"Propri&#xE9;t&#xE9;s_M&#xE9;taphysiques_de_la_Kyanit_ou_Cyanite_-_&#xC9;nergie_de_la_S&#xE9;r&#xE9;nit&#xE9;\"><strong>Metaphysical properties of Kyanit or Cyanite &#8211; Energy of Serenity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Kyanite is renowned for its metaphysical properties that promote mental clarity, honest communication and inner harmony.
