Description

Impressive kyanite with quartz from Bahia, Brazil. Measuring nearly 20 cm in height, this is a substantial and eye-catching specimen. The elongated kyanite blades are well developed and display an intense, rich blue coloration with characteristic longitudinal striations along the prism faces. The crystals are partially associated with white quartz, which provides a natural contrast and highlights the depth of color in the kyanite. Bahia is known for producing large and vividly colored kyanite crystals, and this piece is a strong and representative example from this classic Brazilian locality.
