Kyanite
Kyanite (or 'Cyanite') is so named to indicate that the species is typically of a blue colour, which may be either a light or a dark hue. Gem-quality Kyanite is found in Myanmar, Kashmir, Patiala and the Punjab in India, and Kenya. The mineral is found in Switzerland and in several US states, particularly North Carolina. An alternative name for Kyanite is Disthene, a name which means 'double strength' and relates to the differential hardness of the mineral.
