A Crystal Message about the Healing Properties of Blue Kyanite: "I receive and acknowledge all life lessons and messages given to me from my spirit guides."   UPDATE: This article previously used the term “totem animals” to describe animal archetypes that may hold meaning for someone. Using this term is culturally appropriative (as this is a term rooted in Indigenous spiritual practice) in the context it was previously used, especially shared by the author here (who is white). This article has been updated to reflect this change.   Common Healing Properties of Blue Kyanite: Spiritual guidance To enhance your intuition To promote peace and compassion To stimulate creative energy To aid in communication with your guides, animal archetypes, and angels To enhance your personal exploration of your spiritual nature Colors: Brilliant blue with darker blue streaks Zodiac Signs: Sagittarius, Pisces, Cancer Elements: Water, Air Companion Flowers: Bluebells Companion Essential Oil: Wild Chamomile Companion Stone: Angel Aura Quartz Common Origins: Brazil, India Notes: Some of the best quality Blue Kyanite has a dark blue line running down the length of the crystal blade; when this line is held over the chakras parallel to the spine it can be used to bring the chakra centers back into balance and alignment. Kyanite also comes in green, orange, and black. Wanna’ Get Science-y? Click Here to get more information about this crystal! More Information About Blue Kyanite: Kyanite has a reputation for purity, and many healers agree that it will not hold negative energy and therefore never needs to be cleansed. Because of this energetic perfection, some believe kyanite to be the material of Archangel Michael’s Sword of Truth. The symbolism behind this idea is that only a material of great purity can cut to the truth of the matter.  Archangel Michael carries a sword that cuts cords and attachments and removes negativity. A flaming sword also has to endure some pretty extreme conditions, and kyanite — the ore for the material used in spark plugs — is able to withstand plenty of heat. However, while Archangel Michael is usually depicted ready to go into battle with helmet, shield and sword, the real battle he fights is a spiritual one: choosing truth over deception. (Just as well, since kyanite would be awfully brittle in an actual sword fight!) No doubt this is why this extremely pure stone is thought to make the angel’s perfect “weapon.” And as a throat chakra stone, blue kyanite works for anyone who wants to discern and speak the truth. Care and Safety: Kyanite fractures easily and is water sensitive. It also contains aluminum, so please don’t use it in crystal elixirs.   Pin it!   Are you drawn to the captivating beauty and healing energies of crystals, but want to uncover the mysteries behind what makes your beloved stones so special?
