This exceptional kyanite comes from the Kali Gandaki region of Nepal, a locality known for producing the gemmiest expression of the mineral. Unlike the gentle, silky shimmer typical of common kyanite sticks, this material displays a deep, dark blue body color with a pronounced teal flash that moves sharply across the surface under light. The saturation, clarity, and optical strength place it in a rare category, with deposits occurring in very small, limited pockets.
