The GDT suggests metamorphic, but I've no idea whether it means the same! |

Explanation:
I found this report of your words (which are both of Greek origin):

An extensive metamorphic aluminous belt extends from the Salar de Pastos Grandes, Salta, going toward the south of Catamarca province. The outcrops are not continuous, but they show a good degree of association with the crystallophilic complex of the Oire Formation (Schalamuk et al., 1983).
The aluminous deposits consist of fibrous-prismatic aggregates of andalusite, sillimanite and cyanite associated with mica schists and concordant quartz veins. The origin of these deposits is attributed to a conjunction of processes among which regional metamorphism of pelitic sediments, with B hydrothermalism and biotite, feldspar and muscovite transformations into aluminium silicates and quartz are included.
The age of this singular aluminous mineralization is simultaneous with the metamorphic processes that have been dated and assigned to the Medium Ordovician (472 Ma). According to Sureda et al. (1986) that age would coincide with the metamorphic climax event of the Northern Sierras Pampeanas crystalline basement during the orogenic Famatinian cycle.

Explanation:
roche cristallophillienne - Roche cristalline montrant des feuillets riches en phyllites (micas en particulier). Cette expression désigne en particulier les roches deu métamorphisme général de la séquence pélitique, représentées par des schistes, micaschistes et gneiss (cet ensemble constituant les schistes cristallins our ectinites), et par les migmatites.
One dictionary suggests "crystalline, metamorphic, phyllocrystalline (rare), foliated crystalline", which you might be able to work in somehow. Not a matter of word-for-word translation.
