Sillimanite is a metamorphic mineral. It occurs mostly in schist and gneiss. It may be present in lesser amount in some granites as an accessory mineral. As a sand grain it usually is accompanied by other metamorphic minerals like kyanite, staurolite, mica, and garnet. It is usually colorless or light brown in color.

Furthermore, the particle shape of the FS suffers from great grain crushing in the topmost effective layer, as shown in Fig. 19 c, and is more angular than that of the CS, as shown in Fig. 18 c, which could be attributed to the differences in the mineral composition and hardness between the two sands.
