Peridotite (Peridotite)

Japanese: カンラン岩(橄欖岩) - かんらんがん(英語表記)peridotite
Peridotite (Peridotite)
A magnesium-rich ultramafic plutonic rock composed mainly of olivine. In addition to olivine, pyroxene is generally present, and depending on the formation conditions, spinel, garnet, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite, and other accessory minerals may be present. Rocks containing more than 90% olivine and little pyroxene are called dunite, and those containing less than 90% olivine are called harzburgite if they contain a lot of orthopyroxene, wehrlite if they contain a lot of clinopyroxene, and lherzolite if they contain a lot of both, depending on the amount of pyroxene they contain.
