The term âolivineâ is also used for a group of related minerals that all share similar crystal structures and the same general chemical composition of X 2 SiO 4, where X can stand for iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn) or nickel (Ni).uartz can only form from magmas that are relative rich in silica, while the olivine minerals only form from magmas that are relatively lean in silica, so quartz and olivine are incompatible minerals.
Olivine is one of the earthâs most abundant minerals. It shines like glass and is used in jewelry, sometimes called the evening emerald or peridot.Yet olivine is strong and is hard enough to cut glass.Olivine has been found all over the earth: Egypt, Myanmar, South Africa, Russia, Pakistan, Norway, Sweden, France, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Ethiopia, Australia, China and the US.et olivine is strong and is hard enough to cut glass.
