...The results of these high-pressure experiments suggest that pyrope and pyrope-rich garnet-structured solid solutions are widely present as major minerals in the mantle at depths of 60-80km to 700km, along with olivine and its high-pressure phase, modified spinel, spinel, and pyroxene. Garnet, which has a chemical composition similar to that of pyroxene, has been found in meteorites and has been given the mineral name majorite Mg 3 (Fe,Al,Si) 2 Si 3 O 12. It is used as an abrasive, and its beautiful transparent crystals are used as gemstones. ... *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "majorite" are listed below.
