1.35 Ct. Blue Kyanite from Brazil

This 1.35 carat oval blue kyanite from Brazil demonstrates precision cutting and proportion control that will satisfy discerning connoisseurs, The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone measures 7.93 by 5.88 by 3.29 millimeters, and it is executed in a faceted mixed brilliant style that combines a brilliant crown with a carefully planned pavilion geometry to maximize light return and preserve color saturation. The cutter oriented the table and pavilion to take full advantage of kyanite pleochroism, aligning the main axis so that the dominant intense blue is presented to the observer, while the mixed brilliant facet layout creates lively scintillation and a broad, even face up presence. The proportions yield a generous visual diameter, and the excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and sharp facet reflections that enhance the apparent clarity and depth of tone. Every facet plane has been refined to optimize contrast and return, resulting in a gem that reads as visually clean and vibrant across multiple viewing angles.

Optically the stone is intense in color with a clarity grade of slightly included at eye level, and these minor inclusions are oriented and managed by the cutter so they do not interrupt the main light paths. Inclusions in kyanite often appear as linear or needle like features, and in this example they contribute subtle internal texture without detracting from brilliance, allowing the piece to present a seemingly flawless face when mounted. The untreated nature and lack of any enhancement preserves natural pleochroic behavior and ensures color integrity, which is especially important for collectors who value origin and treatment disclosure. The cabochon like depth control combined with the mixed brilliant faceting yields balanced optical performance, making the gem appear uniformly saturated and lively from tabletop views and side on perspectives. For settings that emphasize color and clarity, this stone will perform exceptionally, transmitting intense blue flashes and controlled white light play that read as a high degree of finish and craftsmanship. This blue kyanite from The Natural Gemstone Company is ideal for a refined ring or pendant where the cutter driven symmetry and professional polish create a visual impression of near flawless beauty from every angle.
