About ForsteriteHide

Formula:

Mg₂(SiO₄)

Colour:

Green, pale yellow or white.

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

3.275

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Member of:

Olivine Group

Name:

Known in ancient times and some smaragdus and beryllos (Pliny, 79) may have been what is now called forsterite. (N.B. The Topazos of Pliny (79) is undoubtedly referring to forsterite from St. John's island, Egypt. His "chrysolithas" may have been pale forsterite, emrald, green quartz, topaz or any other golden green stone). The earliest modern name given to an undisputed olivine group species was chrysolit (chrysolite) and was named by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius in 1747, although the name chrysolite was later used by Balthasar Georges Sage in 1777 for what is now known as prehnite. In 1755, Antoine Joseph Dezallier d'Argenville called this species "peridot ordinaire", while Axel Cronstedt named it "gulgron topas" in 1758. In 1772, Rome d'Lisle renamed the mineral "chrysolite ordinaire". Wallerius's chrysolite was renamed, olivine, in 1789 by Abraham Gottlieb Werner for the usual olive green color of this mineral (N.B. chrysolite has a similar etymology.) Friedrich Walchner in 1823 gave it the name "hyalosiderite". Named forsterite in 1824 by Serve-Dieu Abailard "Armand" Lévy in honor of Adolarius Jacob Forster [April 6, 1739, Grossbreitenbach, Thuringia, Germany - May 1806 St. Petersburg, Russia], German mineral collector and mineral dealer, who variously resided in England and Russia. Boltonite was introduced in 1835 by Charles Upham Shepard, while glinkit was named in 1847 by Romanovski.

Optical Data of ForsteriteHide

Type:

Biaxial (+)

RI values:

n_α = 1.636 - 1.73 n_β = 1.65 - 1.739 n_γ = 1.669 - 1.772

2V:

Measured: 74° to 90°, Calculated: 56° to 84°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.033 - 0.042
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Very High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

r > v or r < v

Pleochroism:

Non-pleochroic
