Crystal structure of peridot

The crystal structure of peridot belongs to island silicate, and its crystal forms are diverse, which can be columnar, granular or irregular. The crystal structure of peridot presents orthorhombic or monoclinic system, which means that its crystals present a specific symmetry and arrangement in three-dimensional space. This crystal structure gives peridot unique physical and chemical properties, such as hardness, density and refractive index.

Olivine color

Olivine color is mainly determined by the content of iron and magnesium. High-quality olivine usually presents bright yellow-green or grass green. The higher the iron content, the darker the color, and the higher the magnesium content, the lighter the color.

Forsterite: The colors are colorless, orange, yellow, yellow-green, and green. Orange olivine is relatively rare.

Fayalite: Usually yellow-brown and reddish-brown.

Manganese olivine: Generally brown, yellow-brown, and red.

Nickel-forsterite: In honor of the discoverer, mineralogist William Ronald Liebenberg, it is named Liebenbergite, and the crystals are relatively small.

Calcium-forsterite: Commonly white, yellow, and gray.

Calcium-iron olivine: Usually light gray-green.

Calcium-manganese olivine: Generally blue-gray, pink, and white.

Calcium-manganese olivine: Usually gray-green and yellow

Lehe olivine: The color is mostly brown, and the particle size is relatively small.

Uses of Peridot

Gemstones and Jewelry: The refreshing yellow-green color of peridot is very popular among consumers, and gem-grade peridot is often used to make jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and earrings.

Industrial Uses: Peridot has a high melting point and high temperature resistance, and is often used to make refractory materials, such as molds, furnace linings, and casting sand.

Scientific Research: Peridot is also found in some meteorites, which can help scientists understand the formation and evolution of the solar system.

Decoration and Architecture: Peridot has unique colors and textures and can be used to make building materials and decorative stones, such as indoor and outdoor walls and floors.

Collection Value: Peridot is deeply loved by collectors for its beautiful color and shape, and is used for collection and viewing.

Energy and Spirituality: In energy healing and spiritual practice, peridot can be used to relieve emotional trauma, and has the function of purifying, protecting, and balancing energy.

Forsterite Processing Magnesium Metal

Forsterite is one of the main mineral raw materials for the production of magnesium metal.

The forsterite raw materials after mining are usually blocks of different shapes and sizes. They must first go through processes such as crushing and screening to obtain ore particles suitable for smelting. Smelting is the core link of forsterite processing magnesium metal. Common smelting methods include electrolysis and thermal reduction. The processed magnesium metal has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronics industry and other fields.

Equipment recommendation

The jaw crusher has the advantages of high crushing efficiency, simple structure and easy maintenance, strong adaptability, convenient adjustment, energy saving and environmental protection, small footprint and low investment cost, safe operation and wide application. It can meet the crushing needs in different scenarios and become an indispensable primary crushing equipment in mining, construction, metallurgy and other industries.
