Kyanite Tumbled Chips, 1 lb

A full pound of chips. Mostly medium pieces around 7 to 9 mm, sold by weight, so the count varies with the size.

Made for grids and bottles. Small enough to line a spell bottle, fill a grid, load a pouch, or scatter across an altar.

The stone that is not cleansed. Crystal practice holds that kyanite does not hold onto what it picks up, so it is the one stone most practitioners never cleanse.

Kyanite is a modern arrival on the crystal shelf rather than an old folk stone; it appears in no Cunningham entry, and we file its attributions as contemporary. What modern practice has fastened on is a real physical peculiarity: the crystal grows in long, flat blades with a strongly directional structure, and the tradition reads that as a stone that moves things along rather than holding them. From this comes kyanite's signature claim, that it never needs cleansing, since it is said not to accumulate what passes through it. Whatever you make of that, it is why kyanite is the one stone most practitioners never put out in the moonlight.

Judy Hall's Crystal Bible places kyanite at the throat chakra, and practice keeps it for clear speaking and clear seeing. In chip form it becomes a working material rather than a display piece: the layer at the bottom of a spell bottle, the scattered ring around a candle, the handful poured through a grid. Chips are the democratic form of the crystal shelf, and a pound of them goes a long way.

1. No cleansing needed on arrival, if you keep the tradition; a rinse and dry will do if you prefer.
2. Line a spell bottle or a charm jar with a layer of chips.
3. Scatter a handful through a grid or ring a candle with them.
4. Tuck a few into a pouch carried for clear speaking.
5. Handle them gently and store them apart from harder crystals; kyanite is soft and splits along its blades.

• Kyanite Palm Stone: the same mineral sized for the hand.
• Green Kyanite Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the green variety, tumbled to full size.
• Green Aventurine Worry Stone: a stone to hold while you work.
• Jet Tumbled Stones, 1 Pound: the grounding register by the pound.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: for cleansing everything else on the shelf.

Does kyanite really not need cleansing?

That is the claim modern crystal practice makes for it, on the reasoning that its bladed structure moves energy along rather than holding it. It is a contemporary attribution rather than old lore. If you would rather cleanse it, a rinse and dry does no harm.

How big are the chips?

Mostly medium, roughly 7 to 9 mm, though chips vary. They are sized for grids, bottles, and pouches rather than for holding in the hand.

What is kyanite kept for?

Clear speaking and clear seeing. Hall places it at the throat chakra, and practice reads the two together: knowing the true thing, and being able to say it.

How many chips are in a pound?

Many, though the count varies since they are sold by weight rather than number. A pound is a working supply, enough for a long run of bottles, grids, and pouches.

How do I care for them?

Keep them dry, handle them gently, and store them apart from harder crystals. Kyanite is soft and splits along its blades, so it scratches more easily than most tumbled stone.
