Chrysolite - Synonym
of Olivine (i.e. contains half Forsterite
and half Fayalite -- magnesium content and iron content
similar). May also refer to any Olivine that is yellow-green in
color.
The term Chrysolite is incorrectly used in describing two
minerals:
1) It is sometimes used as a name for Chrysotile,
since both names are confusingly similar.
2) It is sometimes used in the gem, trade to describe yellow,
transparent Chrysoberyl.
