Abstract Polarized near-UV spectra have been recorded on 20 μm diameter spots on oriented crystals of microprobe-analyzed olivines from Baikhal Rift, Fa8.8 (I) and Seberget, Fa9.3 (II), which have formed under different fO2 and, therefore, are expected to contain Fe3+-bearing point defects in different concentrations. These should be reflected in the UV-spectra of such minerals (Cemic et al. 1986). The spectra obtained confirm these predictions: The difference in α Y, 26500 in both samples indicates a difference in Fe3+-site fractions of ΔXFe. = 1.78-10−4, which may be related to an fO2 about ten times higher for the formation of olivine II compared to I.
