Olivine Infrared Spectra (generally 4000 - 3000 cm^-1)

Data files and images of OH in olivine

• Forsterite 999 spectrum; GRR 999, Forsterite from the hydrothermal veins on Zabargad Island, Egypt. Image normalized to 10 mm thickness. Data files: a; b; c;
• Forsterite 1006 spectrum; GRR 1006, Forsterite from a kimberlite on the Monastery Farm, Winburg, South Africa. Image normalized to 10 mm thickness. This is a comparitively high OH-content forsterite. Data files: a; b; c;
• Forsterite 1007 spectrum; GRR 1007, forsterite from Mt Vesuvius. Image normalized to 10 mm.
• Forsterite 1012 spectrum; GRR 1012, Forsterite from the Kimberley Mine, Kimberley, South Africa. Image normalized to 1.0 mm thickness. Data files: a; b; c;
• Forsterite 1283 spectrum; GRR 1283, Forsterite from the basalt flow at San Carlos, Arizona. This sample has been in annealed under water in the laboratory to increase its water content. Sample SC7#3 of Steve Mackwell. Image nomralized to 10 mm thickness. Data files: a; b; c;
