How did man made Silicone get in to the melt?

[@AidaAwad]

Silicon is a naturally occurring element, as are most. It is NOT man made.

[@jaapongeveer6203]

How about showing how the 2 Mg or Fe bond with the SiO-4, i.e. a unit cell?

[@AidaAwad]

Wikipedia actually ha a pretty good structure diagram showing the olivine unit cell.

Of course you realize that there is no such thing as apex or basal oxygens. They are all the same.
