Ringwoodite is a high-pressure form of olivine, a mineral that is primarily composed of magnesium, iron, and silicate. It is named after the Australian geologist Ted Ringwood, who was instrumental in the study of high-pressure mineralogy. Ringwoodite is notable for its ability to incorporate water into its crystal structure, which has implications for understanding the Earth's mantle and the presence of water deep within the Earth.
