Kyanite
May 23, 2025
Kyanite is a typically blue aluminosilicate mineral found in aluminium rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock. So says Wikipedia. It said a lot more but .. well .. a geologist I ain’t and my appreciation for the rest of the explanation was limited.
But I do love kyanite. I did not know this until I bought a necklace at Whole Earth a couple weekends ago. I’d say it brings out the blue in my eyes. 🙂
This was made by an artist who has a studio up in Truckee. Her name is Krista Tranquilla. Check out her work. She is lovely and her other jewelry is wonderful.. all about the mountains. I bought a pair of earrings as well that are silver discs the size of dimes that have, as their design, the cross section of a cut redwood tree (or any tree, probably, but let’s say redwood).
Jewelry smack dab in the center of my wheelhouse.
