E rangahauhia ana hoki te andalusite kia mārama ai te hononga i waenganui i te hanganga kristo, te koiora matū, ngā āhuatanga aho, me te polymorphism i roto i ngā minerales Al₂SiO₅. Whānui tonu, ko tōna mahi matua ā-pakihi kei roto i ngā rawa refractory, engari kei te whai wāhi motuhake ngā kristo mārama ki te maakete gemstone. Nā ōna tauira inclusion motuhake me tōna uara hei tohu mō ngā āhuatanga metamorphic, he whai hua hoki ki ngā kohinga minerales, ki te ako, me ngā rangahau ā-Āhuarangi.
