Kyanite is known for its characteristic blue color. Its name comes from the same origin as the color cyan, being derived from the Ancient Greek word κύανος. Generally translated into the English kyanos or kuanos and means "dark blue."

Lovely luminous labrodorite. This feldspar mineral rich in calcium, was first found in Labrador, Canada in the late 1700's. Legend has it that the Northern Lights were once stuck inside rocks on the Canadian coast until a brave warrior freed most of them by hitting the rocks with a spear. Those not struck still retain the borealis. What a cool story. That borealis play of light within the stone often called Schiller is caused by light bouncing back (diffraction) between internal fractures (lamellae) in the mineral and refracting back to your eyes.

Welcome to Summer! Today is the astronomical first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The June, or summer solstice occurs when we see the Sun move along its most northern path in the sky. Earth is at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. You have the most daylight hours today. Get out ther #summersolstice #junesolstice #longestday #shortestnight
