These healers use Kyanite to open the third eye Chakra to enhance creativity, broaden perception and to reach a better understanding of others. Kyanite is also said to foster tranquility, having a positive effect on dreams, visualization and foresightedness.
 

Also called Disthene, the name Kyanite is derived from the Greek "Kyanos" meaning, "Blue". The most popular varieties display intense cornflower blues similar to sapphire, and sparkling greenish-blues reminiscent of aquamarine.
