Meta-kaolinite
Invalid as an unnamed mineral

Formula:
Al2O3 · 2SiO2
may also be formulated as Al2Si2O7
An important transformation phase related to kaolinite, at least during coal combustion experiments (synthetic, although possibly existing in many natural fire- and temperature-metamorphism-related environments). In the literature it also occurs as metakaolinite or "metakaolin". Found, e.g., in ceramics.
According to Querol et al. (1994), the phase forms from kaolinite at 450oC. At 900oC it gives rise to 'silicon spinel'.
