iron-rich end-members are considered separate minerals (forsterite and fayalite). The details of these rules are somewhat controversial. For instance,...

Ferrohortonolite is a mineral variety in the olivine series composed of 70% to 90% fayalite and 30% to 10% forsterite or Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio of 0.7 to 0.9. It is from...
