Relationship between the chemical composition, lattice parameters, and optical properties of andalusite and its isostructural analogs

The refractive indices for light vibrating along the a, b, and c cell edges -- symbols na, nb, and nc - were measured for 20 andalusite-kanonaite solid solutions ranging from relatively pure andalusite (Al₂SiO₅) to about 62 mole percent kanonaite (MnAlSi0₅). Of the 20 crystals, 8 contained significa...
