Kyanite and Larimar

Silvery blue kyanite cabochons with perfect larimar accent stones set in sterling silver with sterling earwires. Custom made for Caravan Gallery with preciously fine, handselected stones.

Kyanite is a polymorphic aluminum-silicate mineral formed in high pressure atmospheres found in continental collision areas. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formations all happen due to these collisions. It is formed under intense pressure and can be found in many areas of the world including Switzerland, Myanmar, Tanzania, US, Brazil, Cambodia and France - literally all over the planet. Larimar intersting enough is also found in an area of an extinct volcano, in only one place in the entire world - the Dominican Republic right here in the Caribbean. Very interesting combination of two minerals found deep within our earth! Please see below for a size reference.
