Among the many types of stones that are difficult to cut, kyanite is the first to come to mind.

Kyanite has two different hardness levels depending on the direction of the crystal. It has the property of cleaving perfectly parallel to the broad surface of the raw stone in the photo, with a hardness of 4 in this parallel direction, and the property of cleaving in two perpendicular directions with an unclear cleavage, with a hardness of 7.5. Since it has two hardness levels (4 and 7.5) depending on the cleavage direction, it is also called a two-hard stone.

As we actually proceeded with cutting, just when we thought it was finished, parts of it peeled off or the inclusions could not be prevented from revealing, so we had to redo it many times over the course of a whole day before finally completing it.

By taking advantage of the position of the keel (bottom), which was not in the center in the original stone, we have created a very long capsule fancy oval that maximizes its size.

Because it is relatively thin, it looks hollow when viewed from straight on, but the color pools in the very clear stone are visible which is cute, and depending on the angle you can enjoy the strong, vivid blue sparkle caused by the step cut.

Although it has a few inclusions, it is an extremely beautiful crystal for a kyanite, and is a rare masterpiece of such perfection that it is difficult to find even if you look for it.

It was quite a lot of pressure to spend so much time trying to create a stone without knowing if it would turn out, but when it was finished I shared my joy with the main cutter, Piacchan.

This time, we will include a columnar rough stone that we have in stock so that you can fully enjoy the beauty, difficulty, and fascination of Kyanite.

This is a rough stone that allows you to enjoy the mixed blue and green colors of kyanite, and it is quite large and impressive, so we hope you will enjoy comparing it with other stones in your hands.
