Examples of cordierite
cordierite
These volcanics contain chloritised cordierite and some have red almandinegarnet.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Cordierite occurs in the granite contact zone at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall.

Cordierite also occurs in some granites, pegmatites, and norites in gabbroic magmas.

- A blue mineral of magnesium and iron and aluminum and silicon and oxygen; often used as a gemstone
- Cordierite (mineralogy) or iolite (gemology) is a magnesium iron aluminium cyclosilicate. Iron is almost always present and a solid solution exists between Mg-rich cordierite and Fe-rich sekaninaite with a series formula: (Mg,Fe)2Al3(Si5AlO18) to (Fe,Mg)2Al3(Si5AlO18). ...
- Cordierites is a genus of fungi in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains 3 species.
- A common mineral in metamorphic rocks, considered an indication of intensive heat and pressure. A magnesium-iron-aluminum silicate.
- (Fe,Mg)2Al4Si5O8. A metamorphic mineral that is diagnostic of low temperatures and pressures.
- A ceramic material of the formula 2MgO-2Al2O3-5SiO2 which is used for automotive flow-through Catalyst substrates and ceramic wall-flow diesel filters.
- A silicate of magnesium and aluminum, Mg2Al3(AlSi5O18), found as an accessory mineral in granite, gneiss (cordierite gneiss), schists, and in contact metamorphic zones.
- Cordierite materials are magnesium aluminosilicates, fabricated by sintering soapstone or talcum with the addition of clay, kaolin, fireclay, corundum and mullite. They have a low coefficient of thermal expansion. ...
