Kyanites are generally thought of as dull, opaque crystals embedded in quartz, but once in awhile, you get a really superb specimen such as this that deserves a place in a fine collection. The crystal is gemmy, doubly-terminated, and sticking straight up from a shard of accenting quartz with the lower termination still mostly showing! It comes with a nice engraved acrylic display stand. I sold a larger version of a kyanite such as this in a recent update for around $600, and not only did it sell in the first minutes after posting, but 6 or 7 others emailed to buy it as well! So, I think we all realized how great the demand is for truly superb examples of this species that stand out as much as this one does. 4.8 x 2.1 x .7 cm
