Kyanite is a typically blue aluminosilicate mineral, found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock. It is the high pressure polymorph of andalusite and sillimanite , and the presence of kyanite in metamorphic rocks generally indicates metamorphism deep in the Earth's crust .
It is a variably deep to pale green or nearly colorless variety of clinopyroxene. It normally appears in eclogite, which is the high-pressure metamorphic rock of basalt. Omphacite is the solid solution of Fe-bearing diopside and jadeite. [6] It crystallizes in the monoclinic system with prismatic, typically twinned forms, though usually anhedral.
Eclogite piece from Norway with a garnet (red) and omphacite (greyish-green) groundmass. The sky-blue crystals are kyanite. Minor white quartz is present, presumably from the recrystallization of coesite. A few gold-white phengite patches can be seen at the top. A 23 millimetres (0.91 in) coin added for scale.
Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral variety.
Kainite (/ ˈ k aɪ n aɪ t / or / ˈ k eɪ n aɪ t /) [4] (KMg(SO 4)Cl·3H 2 O) is an evaporite mineral in the class of "Sulfates (selenates, etc.) with additional anions, with H 2 O" according to the Nickel–Strunz classification.
Viridine is a green variety of andalusite in which manganese 3+ substitutes for aluminium, the same change is also responsible for the colour. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Kanonaite is a greenish-black mineral related to andalusite and having the approximate composition (Mn 0.76 Al 0.23 Fe 0.02 )AlSiO 5 .
Pyrophyllite occurs in phyllite and schistose rocks, often associated with kyanite, of which it is an alteration product. It also occurs as hydrothermal deposits. Typical associated minerals include: kyanite, andalusite, topaz, mica and quartz. [4] Deposits containing well-crystallized material are found in: [4]
The green gem at right is a type of grossular known as tsavorite. Grossular is a calcium-aluminium garnet with the formula Ca 3 Al 2 (SiO 4 ) 3 , though the calcium may in part be replaced by ferrous iron and the aluminium by ferric iron.
