stability series
A grouping of minerals arranged according to their persistence in nature; i.e., to their resistance to alteration or destruction by weathering, abrasion during transportation, and postdepositional solution; e.g., olivine (least stable), augite, hornblende, biotite (most stable). The most stable minerals are those that tend to be at equilibrium at the Earth's surface.
