page 25 of the online mineral museum: blue, bold, and beautiful

kyanite, north carolina
Wonder why they call it the "blues?" How about a stroll through the blue section of the
mineral cabinet? The picture up top contains two examples of Kyanite, from North Carolina.
The larger piece is a crystal cluster of the Kyanite blades. The smaller piece is a cross-shaped
crystal that captivated our imagination.
Pretty sure it's a Celestite crystal but I have lost the label and will have to double-check
when I get the chance.
Larimar is a pale blue volcanic stone from the Dominican Republic. We're cut a
flat face on the rough stone to show the blue, but we've got smaller nuggets of Larimar that we'll
cut for cabochons before we consider cutting up this one. It's a good-sized piece of this unusual material.
A well-marked, well-banded specimen of an American blue agate. This stone is not dyed; it is naturally
this color. It is natural rough and hasn't been polished in any way. Maybe someday. It could stand to be cleaned sooner than that; as soon as I saw it sitting out on the rock table, I had to rush it inside to the mineral cabinet.
