Description:Kyanite is rarely seen in faceted /cabbed stones from anywhere in the world let alone in such a rich color. This material is an exceptionally rare stone mostly occurring in Brazil as included pale blue to colorless gems. This stone is from Nepal of all places and is a great Sapphire Blue color, great for Kyanite compard to what I have seen. This "Cushion Cabochon" cut gem has a unique deep blue color with a lighter whitish-blue color on the side of the stone. The stone is translucent and the color is pretty good for the material. These stones are becoming very difficult to find in today's market, and stones over 2 carats (let alone a stone over 8 carats!) are even harder to obtain.
