(mineralogy)

Fe₂SiO₄A brown to black mineral of the olivine group, consisting of iron silicate and found either massive or in crystals; specific gravity is 4.1.

Fayalite

a mineral of the olivine group; the final member of the forsterite-fayalite solid-solution series. Fayalite has the chemical composition Fe₂[SiO₄], and it contains up to 10 percent of the forsterite component. It is found with acidic and alkalic rocks, metamorphosed iron-rich sediments, pegmatites, and other rocks. Fayalite is also detected in industrial slags.
