One of our favorite suggestions for using blue kyanite chips in gemstone décor is to add them to a crystal or glass plate, bowl, vase, or other container. You can layer them or use them to surround figurines or other display pieces, too. With all of the colors and variation available in gemstone chips, there is almost always a complementary or accent color that will suit your personal style, Southwestern or otherwise.

With these blue kyanite chips, we have one other fun décor idea—crystal grids. You may have heard of them before, but outside of the realm of décor. We encourage you get creative with your gemstones. Crystal grids are a great way to do that. You can make impressive displays filled with color and wonder. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Get to Know Kyanite

Kyanite is a mineral that belongs to the silicate group, specifically the aluminosilicate subgroup. Its chemical composition is typically Al2SiO5, meaning it consists of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen atoms. Kyanite is formed through regional metamorphism, where high pressures and temperatures alter existing rocks, such as clay minerals or sedimentary rocks, into kyanite-bearing rocks. This process usually occurs in mountain-building events like orogenies.

Kyanite is primarily mined in countries like the United States, Brazil, Switzerland, Russia, and Kenya. In the United States, significant deposits can be found in states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. The mineral is extracted through mining techniques such as open-pit mining or underground mining.

Blue Versus Black Kyanite

In terms of chemical composition, blue kyanite and black kyanite are essentially the same, both consisting of Al2SiO5. The color variation between the two types is often due to differing trace elements or structural defects within the crystal lattice. These variations do not affect the overall chemical composition of the mineral. If you would like to learn more about kyanite, click this link.
