About Fayalite-Forsterite SeriesHide

Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Series Formula:
Fe22+SiO4 to Mg2SiO4
A series between Fayalite and Forsterite

Commonly known as "olivine" (most of which is Fe-bearing forsterite).
See also Fayalite-Tephroite Series.

May contain some PO4 replacing SiO4 (Schneider et al., 2013).

One of six minerals proposed as essential for the emergence of life (Russell & Ponce, 2020).
