How to Wear Kyanite

- Metal and finger: set it in silver or panchdhatu and wear it on the middle finger of your working hand.
- Day and time: wear it for the first time on a Saturday, in the evening, preferably during the Shukla Paksha (waxing Moon).
- Purify: dip the ring or pendant in raw milk mixed with Ganga jal (or clean water) for a few minutes, then rinse it.
- Energise: light a lamp, face east and chant the Saturn mantra 108 times: Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah.

Care and Cleaning
Kyanite is a soft stone (about 4 on the Mohs scale). Wear it in a pendant or earrings rather than an everyday ring, store it separately so harder stones cannot scratch it, and clean it only with a damp soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemicals and perfume. Many people also re-energise their stone once a month by placing it in moonlight or chanting the planet's mantra.

- Ask for a lab certificate from a recognised gem laboratory.
- Good colour, clarity and a clean cut matter more than size.
- Buy from a trusted seller who explains the origin and any treatment of the stone.
