Olivine is a kind of self-colored gemstone, which is green due to iron content, and the more iron content, the darker the color. There are olive green, yellow-green, brown-green, and the best one is emerald green. Olivine forms a perfect isomorphic series due to the difference and change of magnesium and iron content. There are many varieties, and the intermediate components are the most common. Only those with higher magnesium content are regarded as gem-grade olivines, such as magnesium content. More than 90% is called forsterite, and the magnesium content is 70% til 80%, called chrysolite. In addition, there are magnesium iron olivine, iron olivine and so on.
