'''Olgite''' is a rare blue-green colored [phosphate mineral](/source/phosphate_mineral) series that forms microscopic prismatic crystals that are [trigonal](/source/trigonal) in structure. Its [chemical formula](/source/chemical_formula) is {{chem2|Na(Sr,Ba)PO4}}.<ref>[http://www.mindat.org/min-2973.html Olgite on Mindat]</ref>

Olgite was discredited as a mineral name in 2008 by the [International Mineralogical Association](/source/International_Mineralogical_Association) and is now the series name for bario-olgite and strontio-olgite (hypothetical mineral).<ref name=Webmin>[http://webmineral.com/data/Olgite.shtml Olgite on Webmin]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Status of Olgite and Bario-olgite |url=http://pubsites.uws.edu.au/ima-cnmnc/minerals08-04.pdf |author=Ernst A. J. Burke}}</ref> The substance was named after Russian mineralogist Olga Anisimovne-Vorobiova (1902–1974).
