When peridot gemquality olivine is, why can't it be found in olvine?--Niggy 17:50, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Because the raws aren't set up to include peridot there! Really though, olivine is an incredibly common component of gabbro minerals. Gem-quality olivine is rare, and not likely to be found in the more granular veins of green rock DF labels as olivine proper. It will be in different pressure and heat zones.
The geology of DF isn't as accurate as many make it out to be. Olivine crystals in real life are also found in basalt in small quantities, but olivine is not found in igneous extrusive layers in DF.--JohnnyMadhouse 18:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
