    Fun fact: If you stumble upon kyanite in a rock that is silica-undersaturated (quartz-lacking), be on the lookout for sapphire (or ruby if signs of chromium is present, such as fuchsite)!

      I have a couple of tumbled Ruby-Kyanite stones as well a Ruby-fuchsite sphere. Those have to be one of my favorite mineral combinations besides tourmilated quartz

    Such an awesome learning video. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful crystals. Btw, went gem hunting in Spruce Pine, NC. Love it, so fun. We picked up 2 geodes. Cracked it at home in Tennessee and it was difficult. One was a solid quartz. And the other was a geode with a smaller hole. What should I do with the solid quartz? I washed them up. I really want to know. They are for my granddaughter. Thank you.

    I have a few crystals of Indigo Kyanite which I heard is a more rare color of Kyanite. It is basically dark blue Kyanite but it is called Indigo Kyanite. It looks like blue Apatite but a little darker

  • @BH-lp1vk
    @BH-lp1vk Před 2 lety +1

    This was a great video! I would love to see different crystals that fluoresce. I have some darker blue pieces of kyanite that will fluoresce under a black light. I have no idea why it does that, but it looks really cool!

    Excellent video.
    The scientific name for saphires is corendum, for emerald n aquamarine its beryl. Whats the scientific name for Kyanite and Imperial Topaz or Topaz please.

    • @gems
      @gems  Před 2 lety

      While sapphires and ruby belong to the corundum family and both emeralds and aquamarines belong to the beryl family, topaz and kyanite (as well as iolite) are not part of a larger family. Topaz may be colored by various impurities and have different colors, but these are all considered “topaz”. Similarly, different colors of kyanite are still referred to as “kyanite.”

      Surprised that people aren't familiar with Kyanite and Gràndiderite. I like Opals, large Welo. I have Australian BLACK opal. First time I have found this sight. I like to buy and sell gemstones. Does anyone have Yianni Melas , Aquaprase or I love that. If an a purist, I still can't purchase lab created

    Please don't pander to the new charlatanry of our age. The same people who say this has magical properties call obsidian crystals.
