Kyanite Beads
Kyanite, named from the Greek word `kyanos`, is usually blue but also can be white, gray or green. However, the color is not consistent throughout the crystal and can be blotchy or have streaks. Kyanite can be tranparent to translucent in appearance with moderate internal characteristics due to its origin in metamorphic rock. Mines can be found in Brazil, the USA in North Carolina and Georgia, Switzerland, Russia, Serbia, India and Kenya.
