Can Forsterite and Fayalite-Olivine mineral group each exist separately in nature?

Also regarding Apopyllite can pure form of
Fluorapolphyllite and Hydroxyapophyllite be found in nature?
I realise that Olivine (Forsterite/Fayalite) and Apopyllite (Fluorapolphyllite/ Hydroxyapophyllite) are solid solutions but in theory at least can all four exist as seperate minerals?
Any help would be appreciated.
