**Kyanite – The Stone of Alignment and Insight**  

Kyanite (hardness 5.5–7) takes its name from the Greek word *kyanos*, meaning "deep blue."  

Kyanite is a stone of alignment and meditation. It elevates the spirit and balances the physical body. Corresponding to the Throat Chakra and the Third Eye Chakra, it has a purifying effect on the mind – freeing it from constraints, helping you see through situations clearly, and sharpening your insight. Its energy also stimulates creativity, giving you the courage to pursue your ideals fearlessly even when facing obstacles. It is an ideal crystal for those who frequently need to make decisions.  

Kyanite aids self‑expression and communication, helps resolve confusion, and strengthens logical and linear thinking. It dispels unrealistic fantasies, fear, anger, frustration, and stress, making it easier to accept reality, take action, and improve work efficiency.  

Medicinally, Kyanite is a natural pain reliever and can help lower blood pressure. It is also beneficial for treating fevers, infections, disorders of the urinary and reproductive systems, the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, as well as conditions affecting the throat and brain.
