sillimanite and kyanite . The stability of each polymorph is defined by a so-called discontinuous phase transition, the slope of which is defined as dP/dT=Cp/TdV (also known as the Clausius-Clapeyron relation). So reactions that have a large volume change are sensitive to pressure, whereas a small volume change accompanied by a

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 …

Sillimanite
Sillimanite-bearing schists are strongly foliated, fine- to medium-grained, and characterized by their grayish-white color and resistance to weathering.These schists are encountered in Gabal Hafafit, and Wadi Allaqi, South Eastern Desert, Egypt. The major constituents are sillimanite (more than 25%), quartz, and plagioclase (El-Desoky, 2010; …
Schist
Schists have mineral crystals large enough to be identified and usually have wavy, undulating foliation textures caused by micas and other platy minerals. Distinctively metamorphic minerals such as garnet, staurolite, kyanite, and sillimanite occur in schists, depending on the metamorphic grade and starting composition of the parent rock.
