Kyanite Polymorphism

Kyanite polymorphism is a mineralogical phenomenon within metamorphic petrology wherein the aluminum silicate Al₂SiO₅ exists in a triclinic crystal structure stable under high-pressure, moderate-temperature conditions, distinguishing it from its polymorphic counterparts andalusite and sillimanite.
