Olivine typically exhibits a concoidal fracture, which means it breaks with smooth, curved surfaces rather than along defined planes. This characteristic fracture is due to its crystal structure, which does not have distinct cleavage planes. In addition to its fracture, olivine is often recognized by its glassy luster and various shades of green.

What is a non-vesicular rock that is made entirely of green 2 mm diameter crystals that have a hardness of 6.5 and show fracture?
The rock you are describing is likely a type of peridotite, specifically composed of olivine crystals. Olivine is commonly green, has a hardness of around 6.5 on the Mohs scale, and can exhibit a conchoidal fracture. This non-vesicular rock typically forms in ultramafic igneous environments, such as the Earth's mantle.
What are 3 properties or olivine?
Olivine is a nonmetallic mineral with a hardness on the Mohs Hardness Scale of 7. It has a white streak and its color is pale or dark olive-green to yellow, or brown. It forms short crystals that may resemble sand grains. Also, it has a conchoidal fracture and has no cleavage. It is brittle and has a specific gravity of 3.3 to 3.4.
