About KyaniteHide

Formula:

Al₂(SiO₄)O

Colour:

Blue, white, light gray, green, rarely yellow, orange, pink

Lustre:

Vitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Greasy, Pearly

Hardness:

5½ - 7

Specific Gravity:

3.53 - 3.67

Crystal System:

Triclinic

Name:

Named in 1789 by Abraham Gottlob Werner from the Greek word "kyanos", meaning "blue," the common colour of the species. The French spelling, "Cyanite", was commonly used by mineralogists through much of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Polymorph of:

Andalusite, Sillimanite

Common metamorphic silicate mineral.
The generally bluish colour is caused by Fe(II)-Fe(III) charge transfer (Faye and Nickel, 1969).

Physical Properties of KyaniteHide

Lustre:

Vitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Greasy, Pearly

Transparency:

Transparent, Translucent

Comment:

Somewhat pearly on {100} || to the perfect cleavage

Colour:

Blue, white, light gray, green, rarely yellow, orange, pink

Comment:

The chroma C* of blue kyanite is predominantly influenced by variations in the color coordinate b*. Based on the analysis of ED-XRF and UV–Vis results, Fe3+, Fe2+, and Ti4+ are confirmed as the primary factors influencing the color of kyanite, with Fe playing a dominant role in determining the color. The hue angle h° and chroma C* of kyanite were found to be strongly positively correlated with the Fe content, whereas the color coordinate b* exhibited a strong negative correlation with the Fe content. An increase in the Fe content led to a rise in the hue angle, which subsequently caused a shift towards a more pronounced blue hue. Additionally, the lightness L* exhibited a negative correlation with Ti content; as the Ti content increased, the lightness decreased, resulting in a darker appearance. Moreover, the influence of Cr on the body color of kyanite cannot be ignored. The UV–Vis spectra of the kyanite samples reveal a prominent absorption band at approximately 600 nm, attributed to Fe3+ and Ti4+. The wavelength corresponding to the first peak significantly correlates with the lightness L* of natural samples; as the wavelength increases, so does the lightness, resulting in a brighter body color. Additionally, an increase in the Fe content leads to a more pronounced absorption peak at 600 nm and is significantly positively correlated with an increase in the hue angle.
Orange colour is caused by Mn3+ ions (Gaft et al., 2011).

Optical Data of KyaniteHide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.712 - 1.718 n_β = 1.720 - 1.725 n_γ = 1.727 - 1.734

2V:

Measured: 82° to 83°, Calculated: 84°

Birefringence:

0.015

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.015 - 0.016
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Very High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

r > v weak

Optical Extinction:

Inclined. Z>Y>X; X perpendicular to {100}, Z' ∧ c = 30° on {100}, Z' ∧ c = 7° on {010}.

Pleochroism:

Not Visible

Comments:

Pleochroism is not usually observed in kyanite of standard thickness. However, in thick sections, the pleochroism scheme may be:
X= colorless
Y= violet-blue
Z= cobalt blue

Fluorescence of KyaniteHide

In UV light:

Not usually fluorescent. Weak pink-red fluorescence under longwave reported at Thomaston Dam, Connecticut (Don Swenson, pers. com., 2017). Robbins (1994) indicated that: "From Pfitsch in the Tyrol, Austria, colorless blades of kyanite fluoresce yellow under short-wave and orange under long-wave ultraviolet. From research done some years ago on certain kyanite from this locality, and also on kyanite from the Transvaal in South Africa, red fluorescence is reported. The fluorescence is due to trivalent chromium in place of aluminum."
