Description

 The color is outstanding and this is a good kyanite by any standard, modern and Brazilian included. I'd not seen so good from Switzerland before, this piece is better than most specimen I ever saw from Brazil - this color is incredible! A great rarity in very best quality for entire Alps and Europe in general!
