  • Ferromagnesian Minerals: Properties, Examples & Occurrence
    Here are 3 examples of ferromagnesian minerals:

    1. Olivine: This mineral is typically green and is a major component of the Earth's upper mantle. It is rich in iron and magnesium, hence its name.

    2. Pyroxene: This group of minerals is commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Pyroxenes are generally dark green to black and have a glassy luster. Examples include augite and hypersthene.

    3. Amphibole: Like pyroxenes, amphiboles are found in various rock types. They can be black, green, or brown, and some varieties, like hornblende, have a distinctive, elongated crystal shape.
