Real-World Information
Olivine is a magnesium iron silicate mineral with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe)2SiO4, it is defined by it's bright green color; gem quality examples of the mineral are known as Peridot; an igneous intrusive stone comprised almost entirely of Olivine is called Peridotite (which is not present in Dwarf Fortress); and when Olivine is subjected to metamorphism in a low heat, high pressure environment, for example, in a subduction zone (where one tectonic plate slides underneath another tectonic plate) it becomes the mineral Serpentine.
