  1. Orthopyroxenite is an ultramafic and ultrabasic rock that is almost exclusively made from the mineral orthopyroxene, the orthorhombic version of pyroxene and a type of pyroxenite. It can have up to a few percent of olivine and clinopyroxene .

    Pyroxene. Pyroxene ( diopside) crystals from Afghanistan. The pyroxenes (commonly abbreviated Px) are a group of important rock-forming inosilicate minerals found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks. Pyroxenes have the general formula XY (Si,Al)2O6, where X represents calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), iron (Fe (II)) or magnesium (Mg) and more rarely ...

  4. Aug 1, 2019 · Abstract. In this study, we have measured the compressional and shear wave velocities of (Mg 1.77 Fe 0.22 Ca 0.01 )Si 2 O 6 natural orthopyroxene up to 13.5 GPa and 873 K using ultrasonic interferometry in conjunction with in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and imaging techniques.

  7. Nov 26, 2021 · Orthopyroxene, an important phase in mantle-derived rocks, has become a powerful tool to unravel mantle nature and magma processes. However, the applications have been hindered by the lag in the development of analytical techniques, such as shortage of reference materials. Orthopyroxene grains derived from an ultramafic intrusion at the Mogok metamorphic belt (Myanmar) were evaluated for the ...

  8. Orthopyroxene, any of a series of common silicate minerals in the pyroxene family. Orthopyroxenes typically occur as fibrous or lamellar (thin-plated) green masses in igneous and metamorphic rocks and in meteorites. These minerals differ in the ratio of magnesium to iron in the crystal structure;
