Sillimanite – Mineral Properties, Photos and Occurrence

Sillimanite is the mineral which forms at high temperatures and low to high pressure. Luster is vitreous to subadamantine, or silky. Its hardness is 7.0, with a white or colorless streak and a density of 3.2-3.3. Its fracture pattern is splintery, similar to kyanite. Cleavage is perfect.

Kyanite

Metamorphic Reactions

D.M. Carmichael examined thin sections of one particular metapelite that contains both kyanite and sillimanite. The rock shows no evidence that the sillimanite was forming directly from kyanite. Instead, examination of the rock in thin section shows that the kyanite has rounded edges and corners that could have formed as a result of dissolution.
