Kyanite — Meaning, Properties & Dream Symbolism

Kyanite is a blue to blue-grey (also green, black) crystal associated with the Throat & Third Eye chakra and the Air element. Kyanite is notable in crystal practice for one unusual property: it is said to never accumulate negative energy and therefore never needs cleansing. Like selenite, it is considered self-cleansing and can be used to align and clear other stones. In practice, it is most closely associated with the alignment of all the chakras and with the support of authentic, aligned communication.

Healing properties & uses

Practitioners use kyanite when they feel out of alignment — mentally, emotionally, or between their stated values and their actions. It is associated with bringing the different parts of the self into coherent relationship with each other and with the outside world.

Kyanite in dreams

Blue striations, horizontal lines of color, or the sensation of internal systems coming into order in dreams often carry kyanite themes — the experience of alignment, of disparate parts clicking into place.

Crystal pairings

Kyanite works well alongside Selenite, Clear Quartz, Amethyst. These combinations are used when overlapping or complementary qualities are needed together.
