Kyanite crystals (Disthene, Cyanite), yellow green, unwashed from Tanzania – 100 kg
This 100 kg lot contains raw Kyanite crystals from Tanzania, mostly in elongated, prismatic form. The pieces display typical yellow green to olive tones with occasional brownish weathering traces, as the material is offered unwashed. The crystals are clearly recognizable in their natural form and show the characteristic longitudinal structure of this mineral. Surfaces range from rough and matte to slightly shimmering, emphasizing the natural appearance. Individual pieces vary from opaque to slightly translucent, creating a visually diverse lot.
Geology & Origin
Kyanite, also known as Disthene, is an aluminium silicate formed under high pressure metamorphic conditions. It is characterized by its elongated, bladed to prismatic crystal habit and directional hardness. Deposits in Tanzania are known for producing a range of color variations, including the yellow green material shown here. It commonly occurs in metamorphic rocks and is often associated with quartz and other silicates.
Application
Well suited for collections, educational use, and decorative purposes. Also suitable as rough material for cutting or smaller lapidary work.
