Optical constants of olivine – (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 and magnetite – Fe3O4 are presented for the wavelength range from near infrared to far ultraviolet. A feature occurs in the optical constants of olivine at about 1460 Å, but no structure that could give rise to a 2200 Å interstellar feature is found. The most peculiar characteristic of the magnetite results is the large change of optical properties with temperature in the infrared.
