- A dark coarse-grained igneous rock consisting principally of olivine
- A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock, consisting mostly of the minerals olivine and pyroxene. Peridotite is ultramafic, as the rock contains less than 45% silica. It is high in magnesium, reflecting the high proportions of magnesium-rich olivine, with appreciable iron. ...
- A rock consisting of small crystals of olivine, pyroxene and hornblende; the major constituent of the Earth's mantle
- An igneous rock composed primarily of the iron-magnesium silicate olivine and having a silica content of less than 40%.
- A phaneritic rock commonly composed of olivine, pyroxene and sometimes, garnet. This rock is usually dark-colored or green if it's entirely composed of olivine.
- A general term for intrusive ultramafic igneous rocks dominantly consisting of olivine and lacking feldspar.
- Dark, coarse-grained plutonic rock or rock group, consisting primarily of olivine, with or without mafic minerals such as amphiboles, pyroxenes, or micas; upper mantle material
- Mafic minerals greater than 90%
- A coarse-grained ultramafic rock.
