Having similar properties to the blue variety of Kyanite, this crystal has been used to align and open all of the energy centers of the body instantly, never needing to be cleansed or recharged. It is said to clear all blockages we may have, which allows us to move through life more freely and joyfully. Black Kyanite is a healer's crystal, used to connect with the consciousness of those in need of inner work, and also used in shamanic journeys where we can learn about ourselves in the multiverse. It is a grounding crystal, helping us focus on being present, whilst shielding us against all adverse energies. Kyanite of all varieties has a very strong vibration that is often detectable by those who are not normally able to sense these frequencies. It is absolutely the crystal family I reach for when I feel out of sorts or off kilter :)
