Abstract
Andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite are the three silicates
of aluminium which form a polymorphous series, i.e. they have
the same chemical composition but have different physical
properties due to the different arrangements of the (same) atoms
composing them. All these aluminium silicates are extensively
used in the manufacture of refractory materials.
