Myth & Lore

Kyanite’s name comes from the Greek kyanos, meaning “deep blue.” In modern metaphysical practice, Blue Kyanite is prized as a self-clearing alignment stone—believed not to retain negative energy and therefore rarely needing cleansing.

Healers use it as an “ether comb,” sweeping the aura to correct imbalances and restore symmetry after emotional shock, illness, or energetic interference. It is also favored by speakers and singers for its calming effect on expression.
