Research has shown that mullite in brick from the Kazan kremlin crystallizes in the form of primary (‘flaky’) mullite, pseudomorphs of glass with needle-shaped mullite in terms of feldspar, and pseudomorphs of glass with short-prismatic mullite. Mössbauer absorption spectra showed that in the brick studied mainly hematite was found on the surface and magnetite in the interior volume.
