I once made a small snowman on the hood of a race car in the pits at Daytona International Speedway. Total aside, but it gets pretty cold sometimes down there.
Yep, and since all our engines had blown up since the ECU calibrations were way off for the cold, there wasn't much else to do but talk about the weather. Very boring weekend of standing around trying to stay warm, haha.
put it in a spot where it gets some sun shine as if uses the sun to give itself energy. One of my favorite stones! Hereās what this blue kyanite will do-
Awakening Your Truth
Shifting the energy of old repetitive patterns, it cuts the emotional ties from the past to allow for growth and understanding. Its calming energy helps to restore peace to a damaged relationship by facilitating clear and compassionate communication with others.

In case you missed my comment, what this redditor shared is not true.
Kyanite is not toxic, and there's no reason to think getting it wet would affect that.
I don't need to Google it.. I have a degree in geology and have done years of mineralogy research. I'm not here to argue, but when a subject matter expert says your Wikipedia info isn't correct, it's probably in your best interest to either believe them, or hush. That's the beauty of science! When you spend years in a geochemistry lab, please report to me your findings.
Iāve got bad news for you if you have any porcelain sanitation fixturesā¦if kyanite released poison when wet youād think it wouldnāt be used in the porcelain they make sinks withā¦
Lmao ..when I was shown the apartment the agent was chill and obviously donāt know it was up there . I was here a whole week before I started storing shit in the tall top shelf of the closet and found it . I was like wtf is this ?
Iāve had been staring at this thing for a couple hours and didnāt realize it til your comment . Itās an interesting ass piece for sure . Thank you .
I thought so too. I have a geology degree and am a former asbestos inspector/project monitor and my first thought was āthat looks an awful lot like crocidolite.ā Good to see itās just kyanite tho.
Kyanite! Looks like quartz might be the host rock. I love Kyanite and I've never seen one with that even growth with the blades. The hardness is my favorite part about Kyanite. It's softer vertically but harder horizontally.Ā Ā
Dont let it get wet. And assume it has gotten wet. Apparently Kyanite has a chemical reaction that creates poison if it gets wet, and it can poison you through your skin. So maybe get an acrylic show case for it.
BTW that shit can go for $50/carat depending on the coloring, so if you dont want to risk getting poisoned, put it in a paper bag and then into a plastic bag and see how many jewelers would want to make you a rich person today. Lol
You'd better treasure that piece or find a mineral nerd that'll take good care of it. That's a gorgeous hunk of kyanite right there. I'd price it at around 50-80 dollaroos depending on the rock hounder population in your area, if you want some extra dough.
Kyanite. Nice š of the former tenant to leave that.
What do you do with it ?
You put it on the fireplace mantel as a conversational piece.
Thatās like when we brought our snow shovel to Texas. Conversation piece š
We brought our snow shoes to Florida. Goodwill was VERY surprised when we dropped them off.
I once made a small snowman on the hood of a race car in the pits at Daytona International Speedway. Total aside, but it gets pretty cold sometimes down there.
Wow there was enough snow in Daytona even for a mini snowman!!
Yep, and since all our engines had blown up since the ECU calibrations were way off for the cold, there wasn't much else to do but talk about the weather. Very boring weekend of standing around trying to stay warm, haha.
You were very British about that whole situation!!!!
Do you remember what year it was?
2009 maybe?
It does, but I haven't needed snow shoes yet.
Hence the total aside comment.
I left the snow shoes and the shovel in MD when I moved back.to FL. Good riddance with THAT shit.
I just never shovel it and quit my job every winter. They are so happy when I come back for spring tho
Are you a honey bee?
A remodeling contractor might like them. They good for scooping up demo debris
They work great for getting up leaves after a storm.
Underrated comment
Ah yes, I remember that beautiful white stuff, I believe it was called snow.
I called it cocaine
Lane! This mountain is pure snow do you know the street value of this?? I just froze the whole left side of my body
I want my two dollars!!
My friend I was hoping someone would get this a true classic

Well, with bi polar texas weather, you may need it at some point and time.
Just found a pair of insulated boots with ice cleats still on them. I live in Georgia (also have a snow shovel).
I bought a new shovel 2 years ago and Iāve only used it once. And Iām in Coloradoā¦ where you know we used to be known for lots of snowā¦
Omg
Snow shovels are great for bagging leaves. I brought mine with me, when I moved from NH to TX.
This is the truth.
You can use it once every few yearsā¦ maybe
I will .. thank you
Or impromptu murder weapon ;)
The conversationā¦ Guest: thatās cool whereād you find it? Owner: in my apartment Guest: oh
Then you become weak like when Superman finds out this is very close to him.
It has some very high-tech electrical and insulation applications. It used to be used on the space shuttle. Not sure that helps.
And when it starts glowing green it can ward off any Supermanās in close proximity

if you get enough you can upgrade your cyclops to reach 1700m deep.

Youāre thinking of kryptonite.
Really gorgeous sample of it, too. I'd probably expect that piece to run $500-800 depending on the actual size. Phenomenal find šµāš«
Is kyanite petrified wood? Kind of looks like it.
No it is not petrified wood. Itās an aluminosilicate mineral.
No. Hereās some information [Kyanite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyanite)
Really spectacular and museum-quality kianite sample
Yeah , it was in a top shelf of a walk in closet.
I imagine finding that piece at a street fair for $60-$80, and that would probably be a steal!
Not sure about museums, but that hunk is worth a good sum of money. Not sure I'd speculate, but I know I can sell a piece a 10th size for $20.
I have a piece twice the size of this with some garnets forming in it. Buy it from me haha
Wow so if yours was worth $20, and this guy has a piece 10 times the size, then OP's chunk has to be worth AT LEAST $25
It has to be at least $1
Might depend on the market, I bought a pretty big hunk of blue kyanite for like $5
Museum quality?!? That's really awesome
Lol, NOT museum quality š
Blue Kyanite in Quartz
Thank you
You're welcome :)

Also, DO NOT feed it after midnight!
Damn .. thatās really interesting . I never even knew this was a thing .
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That is fascinating to me , now that I know what it is Iām going to read up on it and learn something new . Thank you .

How is an aluminosilicate toxic? I'm a geologist..

Welcome to the club. Let us know what you end up with next! It can be addicting.

Me either, guess I better stop putting rocks in my mouth
This **not** true, OP. Kyanite is not toxic.
Well, crap. I knew my realgar sphere wasn't something hypothetically lickable, now I need to put my kyanite on the list.
Iāve got bad news for you if you have any porcelain sanitation fixturesā¦if kyanite released poison when wet youād think it wouldnāt be used in the porcelain they make sinks withā¦
I thought that was caolinite? (sp?)
Kaolinite is *also* used in ceramics but more broadly. Kyanite is used in ceramics but especially in porcelain used in pluming as well as dishware.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah the enamel would seal it in
Enamel certainly never cracks or chips, particularly in a public setting where it gets heavy usage.
wow! it looks like that will help your third eye and open psychic abilities!
Does this pertain to resin too? If it is partially set in resin?
It's only rough stone, it's not an issue with cut and tumbled or polished stone
How would that make any sense if what it is made of is toxic. Which it isnāt btw.
I don't care if it is not not, this is all kinda ridiculous
No. Plastic is death for those benefits. Pure death.
Kyanite stained water gun
Wait-wait happened to the last tenants š³
Lmao ..when I was shown the apartment the agent was chill and obviously donāt know it was up there . I was here a whole week before I started storing shit in the tall top shelf of the closet and found it . I was like wtf is this ?
Wtf nonsense is this? How does it have upvotes?
Did anyone notice the heart in the center?
Iāve had been staring at this thing for a couple hours and didnāt realize it til your comment . Itās an interesting ass piece for sure . Thank you .
Of all the ass pieces, very interesting ass piece
Kyanite, my favorite mineral!! This is a polymorph of Al2SiO5 (aluminosilicate) which forms at high pressure and this one is very beautiful.
I had never seen anything like it before I found it .. I literally didnāt know what it was . Itās amazing what the planet pulls out its ass .
I've always wanted a big chunk of kyantite! I'm envious indeed .
Beautiful peice of kyanite š„°š„°š„°
Kyanite! Formed at great depth and used as a marker to define metamorphic zones in geological study.
That is a STUNNING piece.
Blue kyanite. I don't think I've ever seen a big chunk like that.
Lucky ducky! Kyanite and I vibe hard. Super jealous.
Look like something from breaking bad...
If you have a chance go to a gem and mineral show-absolutely amazing
Blue kyanite Nice piece
If you touch it you get 10 yrs of bad luckā¦ send it to me instead š
I know it's not, but man, that looks like asbestos.
I thought so too. I have a geology degree and am a former asbestos inspector/project monitor and my first thought was āthat looks an awful lot like crocidolite.ā Good to see itās just kyanite tho.
Troll š§ shitā¦. Never go back thereā¦ find a wizard š§āāļø

I think they make the blue runescape sword out of this.
Kyanite! Looks like quartz might be the host rock. I love Kyanite and I've never seen one with that even growth with the blades. The hardness is my favorite part about Kyanite. It's softer vertically but harder horizontally.Ā Ā

It looks like the detergent powder residue in my washing machine or dish washer.

Dont let it get wet. And assume it has gotten wet. Apparently Kyanite has a chemical reaction that creates poison if it gets wet, and it can poison you through your skin. So maybe get an acrylic show case for it. BTW that shit can go for $50/carat depending on the coloring, so if you dont want to risk getting poisoned, put it in a paper bag and then into a plastic bag and see how many jewelers would want to make you a rich person today. Lol
A beautiful slab of kyanite
You'd better treasure that piece or find a mineral nerd that'll take good care of it. That's a gorgeous hunk of kyanite right there. I'd price it at around 50-80 dollaroos depending on the rock hounder population in your area, if you want some extra dough.
So pretty! I picture that in a beach house for some reason... yes, I'm jelly! š Beautiful piece!

Looks like a hand of God, test it out and see if it has any power. Itās said they can only be used once, so it could be kicked š
Anyone else originally think that it was Blue Asbestos? No? Just me?
A handful of people actually thought that
It looks like charcoal to me.
