Schist

As a special subgroup we have the andalusite-,staurolite-, kyanite- and sillimanite-schists, together with the cordierite-gneisses, which usually make their appearance in the vicinity of gneissose granites, and have presumably been affected by contact alteration. The more coarsely foliated gneisses are almost as frequent as the mica-schists Get price

Sillimanite Al2SiO5

Sillimanite can be synthesized from its component oxides at high temperatures and pressures; the phase diagram for Al 2 SiO 5 (Fig. 27, p. 34) shows the triple point between andalusite, sillimanite and kyanite to lie at about 53020C and 0.420.03 GPa. On heating above about 1000C sillimanite is unstable and alters to mullite and quartz. Get price

Petrogenesis of andalusite–kyanite–sillimanite veins and

Quartz‐rich veins in metapelitic schists of the Sanandaj‐Sirjan belt, Hamadan region, Iran, commonly contain two Al 2 SiO 5 polymorphs, and, more rarely, three coexisting Al 2 SiO 5 polymorphs. In most andalusite and sillimanite schists, the types of polymorphs in veins correlate with Al 2 SiO 5 polymorph(s) in the host rocks, although vein polymorphs are texturally and compositionally Get price

Metamorphic Facies Defined and Explained

Mar 27, 2017As metamorphic rocks change under heat and pressure, their ingredients recombine into new minerals that are suited to the conditions. The concept of metamorphic facies is a systematic way to look at the mineral assemblages in rocks and determine a potential range of pressure and temperature (P/T) conditions that were present when they formed.
