Andalusite was named by Jean- Claude Delamétherie and Wernerin 1798. It iwas named after its mined area “Andalusia” in Spain. The first person to analyze andalusite was Werner and Delamétherie. The irony in analyzes was said that the specimens was actually mined at El Cardoso and was mistaken to be Andalusia.  Andalusite is a metamorphic material formed mainly due to low pressure and temperature variation from high to low.  Andalusite was said to be a polymorph of kyanite and silimanite based on the same chemistry but with a different crystal structure. Andalusite was even defined years ago before it was analyzed by Werner and Delamétherie and was termed as chiastolite because of its carbonaceous or clay material arranged in symmetrical shapes which form a cross like formation.
