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.

New beginnings, slow growth and patience. The gardener's stone, for progress measured in seasons rather than days.

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.

A luminous stone of cleansing, clearing space and still calm.

The stone of calm truth-telling. Chrysocolla is associated in crystal tradition with unhurried, honest communication, with diplomacy under pressure, and with the compassion that keeps honesty kind. Throat chakra first, heart chakra close behind.

Chrysoprase is traditionally worked with as a heart stone for self-forgiveness, hope and quiet renewal. It is the gentlest of the green heart stones, and it suits people who are generous with everyone else and merciless with themselves.

The luckiest stone, opening the way to opportunity and growth.

Stability, rootedness and belonging. Traditionally held for steady footing during change, for family and for feeling at home.

A soft heart stone. Traditionally held for tenderness, self-acceptance, emotional release and calm, with a link to meditation through the crown.
