Kyanite

Kyanite

Type	Mineral
Location	Frozen Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price	250g

Kyanite is a geode mineral found in Frozen Geodes and Omni Geodes. It ties with Fairy Stone as the most valuable mineral a Frozen Geode can hold, so pulling one out of a geode is a good result. Its first job is the museum, where it adds a slot to Gunther's mineral collection. Spare pieces sell well, make a liked gift for the Wizard, and turn into a blue Bandana Shirt or blue dye. Because Frozen Geodes come from the middle floors of The Mines, Kyanite usually arrives once mining is well under way.

The in-game description reads: The geometric faces are as smooth as glass.

Location

Frozen Geodes are the main way to get Kyanite. Each one has roughly a one in thirty chance to contain it. Omni Geodes can also give it, though their odds are split across every geode mineral, so each one is far less likely to.

Frozen Geodes drop from rocks on floors 41 to 79 of The Mines and from rocks on the Farm in Winter. Fishing Treasure Chests can hold them, and villagers sometimes give them at the Feast of the Winter Star. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond produces them. On the Hill-top Farm and the Four Corners Farm, Frozen Geode Nodes in the small quarry drop them when broken. When Sebastian runs a booth at the Desert Festival, he sells Frozen Geodes for Calico Eggs.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens geodes for a small fee. The Geode Crusher opens them for free, and its recipe comes from Clint's Cave Patrol special order. Luck leaves the contents unchanged, so any day works.

Prices

One Kyanite is worth two and a half unopened Frozen Geodes, so finding it more than repays the fee at Clint. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent on top.

A Crystalarium copies Kyanite in about three and a half days, which earns roughly 72g a day. That is better than most geode minerals but still short of gems. Jade earns around 120g a day in the same machine, and Amethyst over 100g.

Uses

Donating the first Kyanite to Gunther at the museum adds it to the mineral collection. Along the way, mineral milestones hand out furniture like the Standing Geode, the Singing Stone and the Obsidian Vase. The Crystal Chair comes at forty-one minerals, and a free Crystalarium at fifty.

Putting Kyanite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Bandana Shirt in blue. Kyanite also fits the blue dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Kyanite. Any geode mineral pleases him equally, so a cheaper one does the same job as a gift.

The older villagers Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam count Kyanite as a disliked gift. The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy dislike it as well, as do the shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. The children Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too, and so do the marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane.

Jasper from Magma Geodes makes the same Bandana Shirt in red. Collecting both gives two colours of one design.
