Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
Minerals form into crystals or clusters of crystals. In the crust, the most common individual mineral is quartz, and the most common class of minerals are the silicate minerals.
Silicates are the most common rock-forming minerals. They tend to have a specific gravity range of 2-4.
Both minerals have a vitreous luster, a white streak, and contain oxygen.
One common method of classifying minerals is by their basic group, thus silicates, carbonates, sulfides, phosphates, and so on. Thus you may have a copper carbonate, a silicate, a sulfide and so on.

The Silicate Minerals.
The most common minerals found on Earth are the Silicate minerals. The silicate minerals are: amphibole, feldspar, mica, olivine, pyroxene, and quartz.
Feldspars are the most common silicate minerals.
Quartz, Feldspar, Muscovite, Biotite are among most common silicate minerals.
