Group: Olivine ... Olivine is actually a name for a series between two end members, fayalite and forsterite. Fayalite is the iron rich member with a pure formula of Fe2SiO4. Forsterite is the magnesium rich member with a pure formula of Mg2SiO4.

Information on the olivine mineral group ... The Olivine group is composed of three minerals, with the following formulas: Forsterite = Mg2SiO4; Olivine (Chrysolite) = (Mg,Fe)2SiO4; Fayalite = Fe2SiO4; The intermediary variety, Olivine, is not scientifically recognized as a separate mineral, but is nevertheless mentioned.

The olivine series is an example of continuous solid solution of two components, Mg2SiO4 and Fe2SiO4. Three names are used currently: forsterite for pure or nearly pure Mg2SiO4, fayalite for pure or nearly pure Fe2SiO4, and olivine for the common intermediate varieties.
