Kyanite -gemmy crystals on Quartz
Capelinha, Jequitinhouha Valley
Minas Gerais, Brazil
6.7 x 3.8 x 3.3 CM (cabinet)
price: $750
Spring 2020
This is not at all a typical Kyanite, the crystals are vivid blue, gem clear and are sharply terminated. Well presented on a massive Quartz matrix, these crystals are perfectly exposed and brilliant in person. With backlighting this glows an intense blue hue. Some zoning is noted with the "stripes" of clear and deep blue running along the C axis of the crystals. Huge amounts of Kyanite come out of Brazil but super gem grade display pieces are very rare, this is a superb example with a lot of display impact. Better in person.
