Q: What is Orange Kyanite made of?

Orange Kyanite has the chemical formula Al₂SiO₅, crystallises in the triclinic system and measures 4 – 4.5 parallel to length, 6.5 – 7 across (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Orange kyanite is a rare color variety of the aluminosilicate kyanite, whose orange tone is attributed to trace iron and titanium substitutions. It retains kyanite's characteristic anisotropic hardness and bladed crystal habit, forming in high-grade metamorphic rocks.
