IDENTITY CARD

CYANITE

Cyanite is a fascinating stone, known for its intense blue flashes reminiscent of the ocean depths. Discovered and scientifically described in the XVIIIᵉ century, its name comes from the Greek kyanosmeaning "deep blue". Long used by craftsmen for its unique beauty, it is also renowned in lithotherapy for its energy-aligning properties. Its particular structure, formed under high pressure in the bowels of the Earth, gives it a rare vibration that is both soothing and structuring.

A little history

Although Cyanite is relatively recent in mineralogical history (officially described in 1789 by Abraham Werner), it was used by craftsmen in certain regions of Nepal and Tibet from the earliest times to make decorative and spiritual objects. In Europe, Cyanite crystals were first prized by collectors and scientists for their exceptional brilliance and crystalline structure, before gradually making their way into fine jewelry in the XXᵉ century.
