Dunite, Plutonic, Estrei, Quebec
Dunite is an ultramafic plutonic rock that is composed almost exclusively of olivine. The mineral assemblage is greater than 90% olivine, with minor amounts of other minerals such as pyroxene, chromite, magnetite, and pyrope. Dunite is the olivine-rich endmember of the peridotite group of mantle-derived rocks.
