Vintage Blue Kyanite order & Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace

I absolutely love this Kyanite pendant. From the bright baby blues to the rich dark blues make this pendant a real show stopper. The name of the Pendant is a mineral called Kyanite. Although it comes in other colors as well, the blue is my favorite.

Named in 1789 by Abraham Werner, kyanite draws its identity from the Greek term cyanos (or order "blue")--which this beautiful gemstone certainly is! Kyanite is one of the most attractive blue minerals in nature, sometimes exhibiting intense shades of blue, or even multiple shades with color zoning in a single crystal. The French spelling "cyanite" was common until the mid-20th century.

I combined the Kyanite Pendant into a necklace using mother-of-pearl beads, vintage faceted (kyanite colored) blue barrel crystals and iridescent crystal rondelles which reflect off the blue to make it shine brilliantly.
