This relatively newly discovered crystal (1970), is a deep transparent blue and is named for an Italian Jesuit Missionary name Eusebio Francisco Kino (1645-1711). Compared with many other crystals and gems it is fairly soft, having a Mohs hardness of only 2.5. Kinoite is an excellent stone for psychic communication and ability. It allows for easy communication of higher truths and for channelling. It can eliminate delusions and self-limiting concepts. In healing Kinoite may be beneficial for teeth, throat, nerves, calming and increasing stamina.
