When olivine crystallizes by itself from a mafic magma, it rapidly fractionates Mg/Fe on its own binary loop, depleting Mg and enriching Fe with fractionation progress F. Pure fractionation on such a loop is easily calculated with the standard Rayleigh distillation equation. The crystallization process also rejects all other components until another phase, for example plagioclase, saturates the liquid...
