Material: Kyanite in Fuchsite 9mm Origin: Brazil Size: Approximately 9mm (±0.5mm) Wrist size: Approximately 16cm (elastic) Weight: Approximately 28g Features and Meaning: We have acquired this rare symbiotic mineral at a great price! You can enjoy the individual charms of kyanite's fibrous texture and the brilliance of fuchsite. Kyanite is also known as "ranshoseki" (blue crystal) in Japanese. Among kyanites, those with vivid colors, good color development, and transparency are of higher quality. If you observe kyanite closely, you can see many lines, which appear as layers of crystals in a certain direction, piled up. The hardness changes depending on the direction of force applied to these layers. Due to this property, it is called "disthene," making processing very difficult. The word "kyanite" comes from the Greek word "kyanos," meaning "blue." Product number: BG6030-9
