NO. These are purely metamorphic minerals and not rocks at all!They are found in metamorphic rocks of different environments and are pure alumino silicate phases.
kyanite and sillimanite
There are many minerals in metamorphic rocks eg. Phyllites contain micas , Amphibolite contains amphiboles, quartz, and plagioclase. Other minerals include feldspars, biotite, pyroxenes and others such as calcium carbonate as in marble ..a result of the metamorphism of limestone.
No. Kyanite is a mineral.
The difference between the green and blue kyanite is their colors.
Kyanite and its two related minerals, andalusite and sillimanite, are used primarily in the glass-making, metallurgy, refractory, and ceramic industries.

The most blue crystals I know of are, Copper sulphate crystals, topaz, and sapphire
Kyanite is a silicate. Sometimes called an aluminiosilicate. It has a chmical composition of Al2SiO5 It has variable colors when found in nature- this is due to contamination with small amounts of metals ions such as iron, titanium.
David Joseph Hall has written: 'Compositional variations in biotites and garnets from kyanite and sillimanite zone mica schists, Orange area, Massachusetts and New Hampshire' -- subject(s): Biotite, Garnet
No. Kyanite is a mineral.
Kyanite has an average density of 3.61.
