Kyanite
Do you know someone who can be tough and hard one moment, then a total softy the next? Or who always sees two sides to everything, or who toggles endlessly between two options, struggling to make up their mind? Then you might know someone a lot like kyanite. Though kyanite is popular in shops for its pretty blue columns, geologists know that it also has a special property of having varying levels of hardness. Its hardness can even vary on the same crystal face, depending on which direction it’s being cut. Interestingly, kyanite is also exceptionally good at holding its strength under extreme heat, making it useful to us in all kinds of ways, like insulating kilns and making very strong porcelain. It’s almost like being inconsistent isn’t always a bad thing. If this mineral is coming up for you now, the message is clear: If you’re dealing with inconsistency in someone else right now, or perhaps feeling of two minds yourself, make peace with it. It might be the very thing you need to make you strong.
