| ⓘ Formula: Al2(SiO4)O Description: According to "Mineralogy of Pennsylvania 1966-1975", Robert C. Smith, Andalusite has been removed from the list of occurrences in Pennsylvania. All existing specimens tested by x-ray powder diffraction proved to be Kyanite pseudos (M. L. Crawford, 1975).
Regional Metamorphism has converted all these andalusites to Kyanite. These are excellent paramorph specimens. http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,7,305374,305438#msg-305438 References: Yale Peabody Museum mineral collectionIdentification: Dealer/Collection Label |
