Orange Kyanite History, Formation, Healing Properties, Benefits, Uses, Care Tips & Styling
History of Orange Kyanite Stone
Orange kyanite was discovered in Tanzania in the mid-2000s after the discovery of the rich blue variety in Nepal in the 1990s. Before these discoveries, kyanite was primarily known as a mineral specimen or for industrial use. Kyanite is usually blue, but sometimes it is orange due to the inclusion of small amounts of manganese (Mn3+) in the structure.
Generally, kyanite is a silicate mineral that forms from aluminum-rich sediments that have been exposed to high pressure and medium to high temperatures. These captivating gemstones are mined in several places, including Nepal, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Switzerland, Kenya, Myanmar, and the USA.
Formation of Orange Kyanite
Orange kyanite is a rare gemstone that is formed through a process called regional metamorphism, which occurs when rocks are subjected to high pressure and low to moderate temperatures. The formation process starts with pre-existing rocks called protoliths that are rich in aluminum. In the next step, clay minerals and feldspars in the protoliths recrystallize. When the pressure is high enough and the temperature is relatively low, kyanite crystals begin to grow.
Orange kyanite rocks are also found in metamorphic rocks like schists, gneisses and quartzites. It’s often associated with biotite, muscovite, almandine, staurolite and sillimanite. The formation of orange kyanite is also linked to subduction zones, where oceanic crust is pushed beneath continental crust, creating the necessary high-pressure environment.
