1.93 Ct. Kyanite from Nepal

There is a long and noble tradition of blue gemstones being prized as talismans of royalty and pilgrimage, and this transparent 1.93 carat oval blue kyanite from Nepal continues that lineage with singular character. Measuring 8.01 by 6.12 by 4.66 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished with an excellent polish, this gem presents a medium intense blue that rivals the cornflower elegance of historic Kashmir sapphires and the crystalline clarity often celebrated in Ceylon stones. Unlike many pieces in famous collections, this kyanite is wholly natural and unenhanced, its purity certified by no enhancement, and its slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level lends authenticity rather than distraction, just as the small signs of origin lend provenance to antique treasures. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish stones that speak of place and craft, and this Nepalese kyanite speaks clearly, its transparent body carrying a sense of Himalayan altitude and time honored formation.

This stone’s appeal is both ancient and modern, recalling the blue that once adorned crowns and reliquaries while offering a unique mood all its own, a lighter, more electric blue that plays differently than classic sapphires, inviting comparison to famed gems without imitation. Its mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and guides light through the pavilion, producing a lively interplay that collectors will recognize as the mark of a well cut gem. As with fine kyanite, a subtle shifting of tones can be experienced when the gem is viewed from different angles, adding a sense of depth and movement that parallels the storied pleochroism admired in historical jewels. For those who value legacy and geological provenance, this 1.93 carat oval from Nepal stands as a wearable heirloom, a piece that bridges the revered history of blue gemstones and the rare, unaltered beauty of a single, exceptional crystal.
