It sometimes hosts {{ll|gold|gold}} and/or {{ll|silver|silver}}, and is used in the creation of both {{ll|Glass|Glass}} blocks and {{ll|Lantern|Lanterns}}. While Mining quartz ore blocks, players will receive Quartz Chunks, as well as a few bits of Clear Quartz. The latter can be used to craft {{ll|Quartz Glass|Quartz Glass}} and Lanterns without the need to smelt the bits in a {{ll|bloomery|bloomery}}, unlike the Quartz Chunks which can only be processed into clear glass through smelting. | ||

Olivine is only found in {{ll|peridotite|peridotite}}. | Olivine is only found in {{ll|peridotite|peridotite}}, which is an igneous rock type. There's a flat 50% chance per chunk of generating an olivine deposit where there's peridotite. See [[Ore_Deposits#Shallow_ores|Ore Deposits]] page for more details on olivine deposits. | ||

* A prospecting pick can be useful in finding olivine, but the main factor is finding peridotite, which might be covered by other rock types. Density Mode does not detect olivine. Node mode detects olivine. See the [[Mining#Node_Search_Mode|Mining]] page for more details on using the prospecting pick. | |||
* A pickaxe of at least Tier 3 (bronze) is required to break a block containing olivine. | |||
* It's possible for nuggets of olivine to generate on the surface, if peridotite containing olivine is within 10 blocks of the surface. The surface nugget has a rectangular appearance until picked up; then it looks more rounded, and cannot be placed on the ground. | |||
===== Usage ===== | |||
* Olivine is an alternative to Quartz for making glass blocks and slabs. Glass made from Quartz is colorless, while glass made from Olivine is green. <br> | |||
* Olivine is an optional ingredient in the steel-making process. The [[Steel_making#Creating_Refractory_Bricks|Refractory Bricks]] that are used to construct a cementation furnace have a lower chance of breaking if crushed Olivine is blended with the Fire Clay, and the ''lowest'' chance of breaking if crushed Olivine ''and'' crushed Ilmenite are blended with the Fire Clay. | |||
