The mineral olivine (/ ˈ ɒ l. ɪ ˌ v iː n /) is a magnesium iron silicate with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe) 2 Si O 4.It is a type of nesosilicate or orthosilicate.The primary component of the Earth's upper mantle, it is a common mineral in Earth's subsurface, but weathers quickly on the surface. For this reason, olivine has been proposed as a good candidate for accelerated weathering to ...

L’olivine est un minéral du groupe des silicates, sous-groupe des nésosilicates. Elle cristallise dans le système orthorhombique . L'olivine n'a pas le statut d'espèce reconnue par l' Association internationale de minéralogie [ 1 ] , car « olivine » est en fait le nom générique de tous les minéraux de la série forstérite - fayalite .

Forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4; commonly abbreviated as Fo; also known as white olivine) is the magnesium-rich end-member of the olivine solid solution series. It is isomorphous with the iron-rich end-member, fayalite.. Forsterite is associated with igneous and metamorphic rocks and has also been found in meteorites.In 2005 it was also found in cometary dust returned by the …

Sand casting, also known as sand molded casting, is a metal casting process characterized by using sand as the mold material. The term "sand casting" can also refer to an object produced via the sand casting process. Sand castings are produced in specialized factories called foundries.Over 60% of all metal castings are produced via sand casting process.

Basalt (UK: / ˈ b æ s ɔː l t,-əl t /; US: / b ə ˈ s ɔː l t, ˈ b eɪ s ɔː l t /) is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.More than 90% of all volcanic rock on Earth is basalt. Rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt is ...

Peridot (/ˈpɛr.ɪˌdɒt, -ˌdoʊ/ PERR-ih-dot, -⁠doh), sometimes called chrysolite, is a deep yellowish-green transparent variety of olivine.Peridot is one of the few gemstones that only occurs in one color. Peridot can be found in mafic and ultramafic rocks occurring in lava and peridotite xenoliths of the mantle.The gem occurs in silica-deficient rocks such as volcanic basalt and ...

The earliest known form of Latin is Old Latin, which was spoken from the Roman Kingdom to the later part of the Roman Republic period. It is attested both in inscriptions and in some of the earliest extant Latin literary works, such as the comedies of Plautus and Terence.The Latin alphabet was devised from the Etruscan alphabet.The writing later changed from what was …

Eigenschappen. Olivijn heeft een orthorombisch kristalstelsel en het kristalliseert in een enigszins afgeplatte vorm maar kan ook massief of in korrelvorm voorkomen. Het is ietwat breekbaar en breekt op conchoïdale wijze.. De hardheid van olivijn ligt tussen 6,5 en 7. De gemiddelde dichtheid is 3,32 kg/l en het mineraal heeft een glasglans. Meestal heeft het een olijfgroene …

Anthophyllite is an amphibole mineral: ☐Mg 2 Mg 5 Si 8 O 22 (OH) 2 (☐ is for a vacancy, a point defect in the crystal structure), magnesium iron inosilicate hydroxide.Anthophyllite is polymorphic with cummingtonite.Some forms of anthophyllite are lamellar or fibrous and are classed as asbestos.The name is derived from the Latin word anthophyllum, meaning clove, an allusion to …
