Green Kyanite
The fan-shaped green kyanite that aligns the heart chakra without force — green kyanite opens while keeping truth intact.
Overview
Green kyanite is the green variety of kyanite (aluminum silicate). Like other kyanite, it forms in characteristic blade or fan shapes. Major sources include Brazil, India, and the United States. With variable Mohs hardness (4.5-7 depending on direction — an unusual property), kyanite requires directional awareness.
Like blue kyanite, green kyanite has the unusual property of not needing cleansing — it does not accumulate negative energy.
Energetically, green kyanite is traditionally called the heart kyanite. It is associated with heart-chakra alignment and truth-in-love.
