Round Kyanite gemstones are natural stones cut in a symmetrical circular shape. Kyanite is known for its striking blue hues, though it can also occur in green, gray, or colorless varieties.
Are round Kyanite gemstones suitable for jewelry?
Yes, round Kyanite is often used in earrings, pendants, and rings. However, due to its perfect cleavage and variable hardness, it requires careful setting to avoid damage.
What colors are available for round Kyanite gemstones?
The most common and popular color is blue, ranging from light to deep sapphire-like tones. Less common are green, gray, and colorless Kyanite stones.
Is Kyanite treated or enhanced?
Kyanite is typically untreated. Its natural color is highly valued, and most stones on the market—especially those sold by reputable sources—are not artificially enhanced.
What is the hardness of round Kyanite gemstones?
Kyanite has a unique property: its hardness varies depending on direction—about 4.5 parallel to the length and up to 7 across. This anisotropic hardness makes it more fragile than many gems.
Are round Kyanite gemstones rare?
While Kyanite is not extremely rare, fine-quality round cuts are less common due to the difficulty of working with the stone. Symmetrical shapes like rounds require precision cutting.
Where does Kyanite come from?
Major sources include Nepal, Brazil, India, and Kenya. Nepalese blue Kyanite is especially prized for its vivid color and clarity.
Can I get certified round Kyanite gemstones?
Yes, many sellers—including GemSelect—offer certified natural Kyanite stones with full disclosure of treatment status and origin.

The purchasing process is fairly quick and straightforward and for me user friendly so it probably took more or less than 3 minutes to purchase and pay for the items. I wish there was a discount offer for multiple items to encourage us buyers to purchase more an incentive and add more sales in your end. Besides that, it's been a great purchasing experience and will continue to shop as I am a repeat customer and have bought from your store many times before. Thank you.

GemSelect offers excellent choices, prices & service- highly recommended! Unfortunately, prior to ordering a replacement gemstone, my jeweler neglected to mention it needed to be one that was a'cushion cuta' to fit the existing mount. Have yet to return/exchangea'

Would have bought an indigo and selenite, but neither listed. But, you do offer quite a large assortment otherwise.
