Kyanite

The name Kyanite comes from the Greek word kyanos, meaning blue, and it gives off a cooling, calming feeling. An excellent mineral to use when working with the subjects of the Throat Chakra, or what is known as the Vishuddha Chakra. In Sanskrit, "Vishudhha" means purity and is related to truth, communication, cleansing, expression, and right speech. The Throat Chakra is the 5th Chakra, situated energetically around the throat, and has a strong connection to the thyroid, one of the largest glands in the body. Kyanite teaches that all is connected and asks you to observe the interplay of life, listen to your inner voice, and commune with your higher self so that you can honestly experience who you are.
