- A mineral consisting of magnesium iron silicate; a source of magnesium
- The mineral olivine (when gem-quality also called peridot) is a magnesium iron silicate with the formula (Mg,Fe)2SiO4. It is one of the most common minerals on Earth, and has also been identified in meteorites, the Moon, Mars, in the dust of comet Wild 2, and within the core of comet Tempel 1.
- Any of a group of olive green magnesium-iron silicate minerals that crystallize in the orthorhombic system
- (Mg,Fe)SiO4. A common igneous mineral in peridotite and basalt.
