Its broom like shape has made it a symbolic tool for sweeping away heavy or stuck energy, and many people use it at the start or end of a meditation to feel settled and clear. Kyanite is also traditionally described as a stone that does not hold on to energy, which is why it is often used alongside other crystals.

Handle fans gently, avoid squeezing the blades and keep it out of water, which can loosen flakes. Dust it with a soft brush and store it wrapped or in a padded spot so the fan stays intact.

This is natural raw black kyanite. The dark color and fanned blade shape are how the mineral grows, and it has not been dyed or polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big is a single fan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle fans are hand sized display pieces, usually large enough to hold comfortably and to sweep over the body. Bags contain several smaller pieces that add up to the weight you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill mine look like the photo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYours comes from the same lot as the photos and will have the same dark, glittering blades, but every fan is shaped differently. Expect natural differences in size, spread and shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it fragile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, somewhat. The blades can split or flake along their length if bent or dropped. Treat it gently, and a small flake or two is normal for raw kyanite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is black kyanite different from blue kyanite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are kyanite, but black kyanite gets its color from trace iron and graphite and usually grows in fan shapes. Blue kyanite forms long, straight blades and is traditionally linked with the throat chakra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Black Kyanite?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKyanite is an aluminum silicate mineral that forms under high pressure in metamorphic rocks. Black kyanite gets its dark color from inclusions such as graphite and iron, and it often grows in radiating, fan shaped bundles of blades. Brazil is a well known source. One of kyanite's most unusual traits is that its hardness changes depending on the direction you test it, softer along the length of a blade and harder across it. That same layered structure gives black kyanite its shimmer and its distinctive broom like look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/black-crystals-meaning-properties-protection-power\"\u003eBlack Crystals: Meaning and Protection Power\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/best-crystals-for-protection\"\u003eBest Crystals for Protection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring home a black kyanite fan and give your space a grounded, protective focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali","offers":[{"title":"Black Kyanite \/ 1 Piece","offer_id":48435351126187,"sku":"1005007444511096-1pc","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Kyanite \/ 40-50g Bag","offer_id":48435351191723,"sku":"1005007444511096-40-50g(A bag)","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Kyanite \/ 90-110g Bag","offer_id":48435351158955,"sku":"1005007444511096-90-110g(A bag)","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/Black-Kyanite-Fan-Raw-Blade-Raw-Black-Kyanite-1-Piece.webp?v=1793168073","url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/products\/black-kyanite-fan","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
