While the deep blue Nepalese stones are most highly valued in the market, Brazilian Kyanites are interesting for their ability to turn up in this lighter sky blue color. This bright hue is also found in Madagascar where stones in this range are typically found to contain both Chromium and Vanadium. What really sets this stone apart is the cutting; we rarely see any Kyanite given a precision cut in a custom shape. Clearly some talent was involved here! Not entirely clean, but the color and cutting make it a singular gem.
