WHAT DOES FAYALITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fayalite

Fayalite

Fayalite, also called iron chrysolite, is the iron-rich end-member of the olivine solid-solution series. In common with all minerals in the olivine group, fayalite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with cell parameters a 4.82 Å, b 10.48 Å and c Å 6.09. Fayalite forms solid solution series with the magnesium olivine endmember forsterite and also with the manganese rich olivine endmember tephroite. The atomic scale structure of fayalite looking along the a axis. Oxygen is shown in red, silicon in pink, and iron in blue. A projection of the unit cell is shown by the black rectangle. Iron rich olivine is a relatively common constituent of acidic and alkaline igneous rocks such as volcanic obsidians, rhyolites, trachytes and phonolites and plutonic quartz syenites where it is associated with amphiboles. Its main occurrence is in ultramafic volcanic and plutonic rocks and less commonly in felsic plutonic rocks and rarely in granite pegmatite. It also occurs in lithophysae in obsidian. It also occurs in medium-grade thermally metamorphosed iron-rich sediments and in impure carbonate rocks.

Definition of fayalite in the English dictionary

The definition of fayalite in the dictionary is a rare brown or black mineral of the olivine group, consisting of iron silicate. Formula: Fe2SiO4.
