Kyanite

Kyanite

Disthene

Kyanite takes its name from the Greek kyanos, deep blue. In crystal tradition it is a stone of attunement and of clear, accurate speech: it is used to bring the chakras and the mind back into line rather than to add energy, and blue kyanite is tied above all to the throat chakra and to saying the true thing rather than the easy one.

Unakite

Epidotized granite

In crystal tradition unakite is a heart stone for slow work: grief that will not resolve on a schedule, habits that keep restarting, and beginnings you feel ambivalent about. Its pink and green are read together as gentleness and growth at once. These are traditional associations, not medical claims.
