Olivine Group
(A2+)2SiO4
Olivine End-Members• Forsterite Mg2SiO4
• Fayalite Fe2SiO4
• Tephroite Mn2SiO4
• Liebenbergite Ni2SiO4
• Co-olivine Co2SiO4
• Ca-olivine Ca2SiO4
• Monticellite CaMgSiO4
• Kirschsteinite CaFeSiO4
• Glaucochroite CaMnSiO4
Olivine Occurrences
• Forsterite - Fayalite– Fo90 Olivine is major mineral of upper mantle
– Minor phase in basalt and gabbro– Fayalite is secondary in silicic volcanics
• Monticellite accessory in mantle nudules• Tephroite and glaucochroite
– silicic volcanics and Mn skarns
• Liebenbergite secondary in Ni deposits

Olivine Structure
Olivine Structure
• Orthorhombic Pbnm• a = 4.7 - 5.1Å• b = 10.1 - 11.2Å• c = 5.9 - 7.8Å• Z = 4
Olivine Structure• M1
– Pt sym = -1 @ (0, 0, 0)
• M2– Pt symm = m @ ( x, y, 1/4)
• Si– Pt symm = m @ ( x, y, 1/4)
• O1, O2– Pt symm = m @ ( x, y, 1/4)
• O3– Pt symm = 1 @ ( x, y, z)
Olivine M1
• M1 is at origin• Smaller M site• More distorted in angles• Less distorted in distances• Mg, Fe olivines are disordered• Ni prefers M1
Olivine M2
• On mirror at (x, y, 1/4)• Larger M site• Less distorted in angles• More distorted in distances• Mg, Fe olivines are disordered• Ca, Mn prefer M2
Olivine Chemistry
• Mantle olivines are Fo94 - Fo86
• Minor elements are divalent cations and H– Ni (M1) up to 0.1 wt % NiO– Mn (M2) up to 0.1 wt% MnO– Ca (M2) up to 0.1 wt% CaO
• Very low in mono- and tri-valent cations
• Minor P in meteoritic Olivine
