Kyanites of different qualities are available in the market. It becomes crucial to differentiate between a premium and fake variety of Kyanite. However, Green and Blue Kyanite are desired and valued for their vibrant blue and green hue, vitreous luster, brilliance, and elegance. Certain parameters determine the quality of Kyanite and based on these parameters, the Kyanite value, quality, and authenticity can be evaluated. The parameters include:
-
Origin
: Kyanite deposits are found in many locations around the world. The finest and gem quality Kyanite gemstones are produced from Australia, Brazil, Austria, Kenya, India, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal, Russia, Zimbabwe, Serbia, Switzerland, Tanzania, and the USA. However, the finest and best quality Blue Kyanite comes from Nepal whereas India is the leading source of rare and best Green Kyanites. -
Color
: The finest quality and popularly used Kyanites display blue and green hues. Kyanite gemstones come in a variety of hues ranging from blue green Kyanite, green, white, grey, yellow, pink, black to colorless Kyanite which is the rarest of all. The presence of significant color zoning often reduces the Kyanite value. -
Clarity
: Kyanite displays a transparent and translucent appearance. Transparent Kyanite with eye-clean clarity, good transparency, and brilliant luster demand a premium for their immense rarity. However, Kyanite with few natural inclusions is considered valuable and is commonly used in jewelry pieces. -
Cut
: Kyanite is typically faceted and has perfect cleavage, making it difficult for a gem cutter to experiment much with the shape and cut. Cushion-cut or square-cut Kyanites are more expensive than the simple round and oval ones. One can also look for a well-polished Kyanite cabochon for a pocket-friendly option.
Kyanite Price
The Kyanite price per carat varies depending on the origin, transparency, color, clarity, cut, shape, size, luster, inclusions, and certificate it carries. Blue Kyanite and Green Kyanite are the most popular varieties of Kyanite stone.

Kyanite Buyer Beware Guidelines
The Green and Blue Kyanite price does not only increase on the basis of size and weight. There are other quality combinations including color, clarity, cut, and shape which determine the price of the gemstone. A buyer needs to understand that the weight of gemstones in India is usually expressed in Ratti and not in Carat. A buyer must understand the difference between Ratti and Carat. (1 Ratti = 0.91 carat)
Generally, Kyanite is not known to be treated or enhanced. It is 100% natural. Green Kyanite in nature is extremely rare and displays a lovely green hue. Kyanite is rarely heated in order to alter the color and exhibits good durability or stability. When Kyanite is oiled or infused in resin to improve its clarity, it becomes fairly stable or durable. However, one can always ask for a genuine report from the Gemological Laboratory. The Lab certifications determine the authenticity of the gemstone. Customers should be able to distinguish between real and fake Gem Lab Certifications and always verify the physical characteristics of Kyanite gemstones from Gem Experts and Astrologers. To identify the authenticity of the Kyanite, the customer can cross-check the report number on the Gem Lab certificate from the Gem Lab website or the company lab. If both the report numbers are alike, then it is an authentic Kyanite gemstone certification.
