[[Image:Peridot in basalt.jpg|thumb|[[Mantle (geology)|Mantle]]-[[peridotite]] [[xenolith]] from San Carlos Indian Reservation, Gila Co., Arizona, USA. The xenolith is dominated by green peridot [[olivine]], together with black orthopyroxene and [[spinel]] crystals, and rare grass-green diopside grains. The fine-grained gray rock in this image is the host basalt.(unknown scale).]]
