We investigate feasibility of comparison between the zero field splitting parameters obtained experimentally based on the spin Hamiltonian with the fictitious spin S'=1 and those with the effective spin S̃=2. The former zero field splitting parameters have recently been measured for Fe2+ ions in forsterite Mg2SiO4, whereas the latter zero field splitting parameters are available in literature, e.g. for Fe2+ and Cr2+ (S̃=2) ions. It turns out that no unique direct comparison is feasible and hence appropriate conversion: relations need to be derived. Methodology for such conversions is outlined. Various combinations of the possible energy level schemes for the spin S̃=2 and S'=1 are briefly described. Illustrative preliminary results concerning appropriate conversions of the second-rank zero field splitting parameters measured by high-frequency EMR for Fe2+ in natural and synthetic forsterite are presented. Detailed results and full analysis will be given elsewhere.
