Kynite is a gemstone quality aluminum silicate sometimes referred to as
disthene, rhaeticite or cyanite. Its name is derived from the Greek word
'kuanos' or 'kyanos', which means 'deep blue', alluding to its typical
blue color. However, in addition to blue, kyanite can also be colorless,
white, gray, green, orange or yellow. With kyanite, color is typically
not consistent throughout. In fact, most stones exhibit areas of light
to dark color zones, along with white streaks or blotches. Kyanite is a
polymorph of both andalusite and sillimanite. Polymorph gemstones share
similar chemical compositions, but they exhibit different crystal
structures. Kyanite forms as triclinic crystals.
