Olivine is relatively dense compared to many common minerals, with a specific gravity typically ranging from about 3.2 to 4.4. While it may not be considered "heavy" in the absolute sense, it is denser than many other silicate minerals, which can make it feel heavy for its size when compared to lighter minerals like quartz. Overall, its density contributes to its role in the Earth's mantle and in various geological processes.
