Peridotite: Geography & Economy

Peridotite (US: /ˈpɛrɪdoʊˌtaɪt, pəˈrɪdə-/ PERR-ih-doh-tyte, pə-RID-ə-) is a dense, phaneritic (coarse-grained) igneous rock consisting mostly of the silicate minerals olivine and pyroxene. Peridotite is ultramafic, as the rock contains less than 45% silica. It is high in magnesium (Mg2+), reflecting the high proportions of magnesium-rich olivine, with…
