Sillimanite from a variety of high-grade metamorphic rocks contains from 0.13 to 1.82 weight per cent Fe2O3and less than 0.1 weight per cent TiO2. The iron is trivalent and substitutes for Al only. Ilmenite associated with the sillimanite contains no more than 0.4 weight per cent Al2O3, SiO2, CaO, and MnO; and MgO does not exceed 1.6 weight per cent. It ranges in composition from Ilm99Hem1to Ilm85Hem15.A least squares fit of precision unit cell data on 10 analyzed sillimanites gives the following cell dimensions for iron-free sillimanite:a= 7.4830 Á,b= 7.6708 Á,c= 5.7694 Á andV= 331.15 Á3. The projected increase in cell volume with substitution of 10 mole per cent Fe2SiO3is 1.66 per cent.A regular increase in the Fe2O3content of sillimanite with increasing Fe2O3content of associated ilmenite in 15 of 21 samples analyzed suggests that sillimanite and ilmenite crystallized in equilibrium in the 15 samples. The compositions of the ten sillimanite-ilmenite pairs analyzed by the author fit the following empirical curve (sol;(XFe2O3)Il = 1.110 x 10−3. This regular increase in Fe2O3contents fits a model of Fe3+substitution for Al on two independent sites in sillimanite and a coupled substitution of for Fe2+Ti on two sites in ilmenite. Sillimanite and ilmenite are behaving as ideal solutions over the compositional range 0 < XFe2SIO3< 0.013 in sillimanite and 0 < XFe2O3< 0.15 in ilmenite.Equations have been derived for expressing the variation in Fe2O3content of sillimanite associated with quartz and ilmenite or hematite as a function of pressure, temperature, and Fe2O3content of the oxide minerals. For example, the Fe2O3content of a sillimanite with 1.5 mole per cent Fe2SiO3coexisting with Ti-free hematite is calculated to decrease 11 per cent with a 5 kb increase in pressure. The rate of increase with temperature of the Fe2O3content of sillimanite is greater in hematite-bearing assemblages than in ilmenite-bearing assemblages.
