Does anyone know why there are no raw specimens of Orissa Kyanite. Even if you google it, only faceted gems come up. Is it a real mineral or do they process it to make it that distinct blue color?

Dear Olde English (any name?)

I join the link to an GIAarticle talking about them.
Seems that supply is not know how large is, so maybe that is the reason why only faceted ones are in market...
