Study of the olivine-like compound magnesium germanate, Mg₂GeO₄, showed that it has polymorphs that have both olivine and spinel structure. In the spinel structure, the oxygen atoms are arranged in cubic closest packing (in which the position of every third layer repeats that of the initial layer) instead of hexagonal…
