Modern stein medicine uses disthene to remain capable of acting in difficult situations. The stone supports logical-rational thinking and decisive action. Other themes are identity and completion of life's task.

Blue disthene is also called kyanite. The name disthene is derived from the Greek "this sthénos" (twofold strength, twofold power). This describes a quite unusual property of disthene: It shows - depending on the direction in the crystal - two very strongly deviating hardnesses (so-called hardness anisotropy). Spellings such as Distin, Disthin or Disten have not become established in the retail and wholesale trade.
