Dear Mr. Masoud:

Olivine is the least resistant transparent mineral to weathering, equivalent in rank in the charts of weathering stability to pyrrhotite among the opaque minerals. Therefore spreading basic to ultrabasic rocks grinded to a fine particle size is not only enhancing the plant growth but also accelerating natural sequestration of CO2. CO2 is one of the major ingredients besides water and oxygen when it comes to the supergene decomposition of mafic silicates such as olivine, pyroxene.. During the weathering of these mafic minerals not only chlorite and vermiculite come into existence but also “garnierites” encompassing besides “limonite , Ni serpentine, Ni talc, Ni-Cr smectite, Ni sepiolite and Ni-Cr chlorite (see Dill 2017: Residual clay deposits on basement rocks….Earth-Science Reviews 165, 1- 58).

You are on the right track.

With kind regards

Harald G. Dill
