Kyanite is all over the Lava Zones. And yes, you'll need a Prawn with the drill arm and the max depth upgrade to get to it. You /can/ go down there and back with just your Prawn, if you pack enough food and water and such, but it's uh, an adventure.
Since this thread has been resurrected I have a question about Kyanite:
When I mine it using the Prawn I only get 3 or 4 resources worth. Whereas when I mine things like Quartz, Gold, Silver, etc. I usually get 10 or so. Is this working as intended?
I'm a newbie and I also would like to know it. I'm here just 1 day but I've already found a lot of interesting info. Thanks
Great to have you here, @DanielleLittle25! We're largely a very friendly bunch, so never hesitate to ask questions or bring something up. How are you finding Subnautica so far?
(Just try to avoid the two subjects that are wired directly to the community Berserk Button: lethal weapons and multiplayer. Both have been rehashed so many times that most folks have nearly an allergic reaction when they see thread titles on those lines. Nobody should be mean about it, but it's well-worn ground.)

Kyanite appears in the Inactive Lava Zone and the Lava Lakes areas. Look for longer, spiky crystals that, depending on the ambient light, can look radiant blue to blue-white (around active, glowing lava). Here's what you're looking for:
There's also a short and a long deposit type for kyanite, and the long type is capable of giving nearly twice the pieces of the short.
As for the Large Resource Deposits, the amount each yields is randomly chosen for each deposit within a range fixed based on the material in question:
Copper: 8-16
Gold: 9-18
Kyanite: Short deposit, 0-12; Tall deposit, 0-22
Lead: 8-16
Lithium: 8-16
Magnetite: 7-14
Nickel: 8-16
Quartz: 7-14
Salt: 7-14
Silver: 9-18
Titanium: 8-16
Uraninite: 7-14

One donut to rule them all. One donut to bribe them.
One donut to bring them all and in hunger bind them

Kyanite appears as a blue crystal deposits all around the inactive lava zone and very few in the active lava zone
