What rocks contain sillimanite?
Introduction: sillimanite is a metamorphic mineral found in high-grade rocks (upper amphibolite/lower granulite facies) most typically in aluminium-rich pelites. Sillimanite has two polymorphs, kyanite and andalusite, which develop under conditions of lower temperature and different pressure to sillimanite.
Sillimanite, also referred to as fibrolite, is a rare gemstone and is only found in a few places in the entire world. These places include France, Madagascar, Sri Lanka - and the Eastern United States! In fact, it was first discovered in Connecticut.
