Black kyanite possesses the same healing properties as its famous blue-hued counterpart, with the addition of deeply grounding and acting as an energy shield against harmful vibrations. Kyanite creates a protective shield around one's auric field protecting the wearer from any outside negative energies and influences. This makes kyanite one of the best stones for empath protection. It stimulates the third eye assisting in honing one's psychic abilities and inner knowing. It encourages communication, aligns all the chakras, and provides a balance of yin and yang energies. It removes blockages and helps gently move energy through the chakra system. Kyanite opens the throat chakra, encouraging communication and self-expression. It cuts through fears and blockages, allowing one to speak one's truth. It is very useful for public speakers and performers as it strengthens the voice and heals the throat and the larynx. As Kyanite does not retain or accumulate negative vibrations of any type it does not need cleansing, other than to remove dust.

Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies. It has been used to amplify and transmit thought and is said to be a "bestowed of good luck". Copper conducts electrical impulses and magnifies the energy transfer from minerals.
Copper can combat lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability, and non-acceptance of oneself. It stimulates initiative, optimism, diplomacy, and independence.
Copper activates and opens the base and sacral chakras, enhancing and stabilizing the energies of intuition, sexuality, desire, and vitality - directing these energies toward the pursuit of one's path of evolution, and allowing one to recognize the barriers blocking one's development.
Copper can be used to stabilize and balance the flow of blood within the body; helping to increase circulatory functions when necessary. It can be used to cleanse wounds and fight bacterial infections. It is also useful in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism, and stimulates metabolic processes.
