Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek word kuanos sometimes referred to as “kyanos”, meaning deep blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock.

Kyanite derives its color from the trace elements or minerals iron and titanium, similar to the ones that give the blue sapphire its color.

Kyanite, like most gemstones, is available in all qualities: VVS, VS, SI1 and I, though VVS quality Kyanites are hard to find. The common faint natural inclusions visible to the naked eye are minute needle-like inclusions, feathers and color zoning.However as the stone is dark the inclusions arent that obivious

At present here are no treatments known that could enhance kyanite.

Kyanite’s elongated, columnar crystals are usually a good first indication of the mineral, as well as its color (when the specimen is blue).

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
