Here we have one of 19 photos labelled olivine variety peridot.

If somebody cared to these should be shuffled over to be under forsterite variety peridot.

Olivine being the group name, forsterite the proper mineral name.

Peridot should be dropped altogether, but that's a fight for another day.

Agreed. Thanks, Tim, for pointing this out.
"Peridot" now made a gem variety of forsterite, so the photos should all change too, after the caches clear.
