TITLE: Olivine GDS71 Fo91 DESCRIPT
DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: MINERAL
SAMPLE_ID: GDS71
MINERAL_TYPE: Nesosilicate
MINERAL: Olivine
FORMULA: Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4
FORMULA_HTML: Mg2Si4-Fe2SiO4 Fo91
COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Twin Sisters Peak, Washington
ORIGINAL_DONOR: Trude V.V. King
CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Samples were wet-sieved into less than 60µm (b) and 60-104µm (a) size fractions and hand-picked prior to spectral measurements. This sample was derived from a dunite.

XRD_ANALYSIS:
40 kV - 30 mA, 7.3-9.5 keV
File: oliv71.mdi (smear on quartz plate)
References: PDF2 #34-0189, 31-0795
Found: Forsterite
Comments: Sharp peaks show good resolution of the alpha1-alpha2 components. The
pattern is very similar to that of HS-285.4B, including the shoulders. PDF2
34-0189 (synthetic endmember forsterite) is an excellent match for GDS-71, much
better than 31-0795 (ferroan forsterite). The shoulders could be caused by slight
Fe-Mg zoning.
