Although I have a soft spot for the golden fluff, it has to be kyanite. Blue kyanite makes any rock better: look at this wonderful combination with pink garnet from the Lewisian Leverburgh Belt in South Harris! 😊 🥰 🤩 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Kyanite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kyanite</span></a></p>
Oscelot<p>I didn’t even have to look at the matchup for more than a second. Kyanite is ridiculously gorgeous in jewelry; I’ve seen so many pieces with it that I want! I’m absolutely team <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Kyanite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kyanite</span></a> in a heartbeat. </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MinCup2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MinCup2023</span></a></p>
