Olgite is a blue-green colored mineral that forms microscopic prismatic crystals that are trigonal in structure. Its chemical formula is written as Na(Sr,Ba)PO4 and its composition are listed as follows:

  • Barium 27.11% Ba 30.27% BaO
  • Sodium 10.09% Na 13.59% Na2O
  • Strontium 21.14% Sr 25.00% SrO
  • Phosphorus 13.59% P 31.14% P2O5
  • Oxygen 28.08% O

Olgite as of present time is the series name for bario-olgite and strontio-olgite. The substance was named after Olga Anisimovne-Vorobiova, a Russian mineralogist.
