Kyanite
Do you know someone who can be tough one moment, then a total softy the next? Or who always sees two sides to everything? Or toggles endlessly between two options, struggling to make up their mind? Then you know someone a lot like kyanite. Popular in shops for its pretty blue columns, what makes it fascinating to geologists is its special property of having varying levels of hardness. Other rocks are the same no matter which way you scratch them, but kyanite changes depending on the direction you cut. It’s also exceptionally good at holding its strength under extreme heat, making it useful in all sorts of ways, like insulating kilns and creating 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 feeling of two minds yourself, make peace with it! It might be the very thing making you strong.
