String Beads, Kyanite with Ruby, 06mm

The beads of Kyanite and Ruby show a color spectrum of yellow, pink and green tones and have a diameter of 6mm. The entire disthene strand is approx. 40 cm long.

The name Kyanite is derived from the Greek "this sthénos" (twofold strength, twofold power). This describes a very unusual property of Kyanite: depending on the direction in the crystal, it has two very different hardnesses (so-called hardness anisotropy). Spellings such as distin, disthin or distene have not become established in the retail and wholesale trade.
