This is an actual nuclear reaction profile obtained by the Frankfurt group on a kimberlite-hosted megacryst olivine from Kaalvallei, South Africa. It shows a high concentration of 'water' on the surface of the crystal and a much lower internal OH content.
Olivine
These results represent
the state of the art for our analyses of olivine. Near linear calibrations
are obtained with minerals with several 10's to a few 100's ppm hydrogen
(expressed as water) in the sample.
