Olivenite is one of the most common minerals in the earth, and is a
major rock forming mineral. Despite this, good specimens and large
crystals are uncommon and sought after. Only few localities yield large
examples of this mineral, although small and microscopic grains are
found worldwide. Olivine is also found in meteorites, and large grains
have been reported in many of them.
