Kyanite:

Kyanite is formed with two other minerals; andalusite and sillimanite, becoming a polymorph.  A polymorph is a mineral that shares the same chemistry but a different crystal structure with another, or other, minerals.  Kyanite is an attractive mineral that has a near sapphire like blue color in some especially nice specimens.  It has a unique characteristic in that it has a wide variation in hardness, in the same crystal.  Luster is vitreous to almost pearly.  The colors of Kyanite range from blue, white, green, yellow or pink

Kyanite is a softer stone and ranges from 4.5-6.5 on the Moh’s scale.
