Description:

Blue Kyanite Blade Specimens in Quartz and Mica Matrix




Item Description


Two exceptional raw mineral specimens featuring striking blue kyanite blades embedded within a white quartz and mica matrix. These natural mineral formations showcase the characteristic prismatic crystal structure and deep blue coloration typical of high-quality kyanite specimens.




Specimen Details


Size 1: 13cm x 7cm x 5cm


Size 2: 13cm x 7cm x 4cm




Characteristics


Both specimens display well-defined blue kyanite blades with excellent colour saturation, ranging from deep indigo to lighter blue tones. The kyanite crystals are oriented at varied angles within the host matrix, creating visually dynamic compositions. The white quartz groundmass provides striking contrast to the blue mineral phases, whilst the mica inclusions add subtle lustre and dimensional interest to the specimens.




Condition


Both specimens are in excellent condition with no significant damage or restoration. The kyanite blades remain intact with sharp terminations. Minor surface weathering consistent with natural specimens is present but does not detract from the overall aesthetic or scientific value.




Collector Information


These are authentic raw mineral specimens ideal for mineral collectors, educational purposes, or display. Kyanite is valued for its striking colour, crystal form, and use in industrial applications. The combination of well-formed kyanite blades with an attractive quartz-mica matrix makes these specimens particularly desirable for collectors seeking quality examples of this mineral species.
