Forsterite Crystals (Mg₂SiO₄) are magnesium silicate minerals with unique optical and thermal properties. These crystals are valued for their high melting point (1890°C), excellent thermal stability, and low thermal expansion, making them ideal for refractory and ceramics applications. The material exists in three primary forms: columnar (favored for laser applications), plate (used in optical components), and granular (common in metallurgical processes)
