#REDIRECT [[Olivine]]

'''Olivine''' is one of many low [[value]] minerals that are [[magma-safe]], and can be used for floodgates and mechanisms used for the controlling of magma. It is also one of the few minerals that may contain veins of [[native platinum]] (the other being [[magnetite]]).
 
 
 
Items built using olivine will be dark green.
 
 
 
==In real life==
 
Olivine is a magnesium iron silicate mineral with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe)<sub>2</sub>SiO<sub>4</sub>.
 
It is defined by its bright green color. Gem-quality examples of the mineral are called [[peridot]].
 
 
 
It is also the most common rock in the world, taking up an estimated 80% of the world's volume, of course most of this is in the mantle 7km underground in the sea and an average 35km beneath the continent, most frequently as an olivine-rich ultramafic rock known as peridotite.
