Care Instructions
-
Handle carefully, as both Kyanite and layered mica formations can be delicate.
-
Avoid pulling, scraping, or applying pressure to individual crystal formations.
-
Remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush.
-
Avoid soaking the specimen in water.
-
Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaning products.
-
Protect from drops and impacts, which may cause crystals or mica layers to separate.
-
Store or display on a stable surface away from high-traffic areas.
Kyanite is unusual because its hardness varies depending on the direction of the crystal. Its bladed crystals also have natural cleavage and can split or fracture if subjected to impact or pressure. The thin, layered structure of mica may also flake naturally, so always support the specimen from its most solid matrix area rather than lifting it by exposed Kyanite crystals or mica layers.
