Yes, silicon can be found in nature. And in great abundance, too, as it is one of the most common elements on earth. It is often found in the form of oxides, and examples of silicon oxides are sand and silicate minerals.
The most common metalloid found in nature is silicon.
Carbon is a naturally occurring element that can be found in nature in various forms, such as graphite, diamond, and coal. It can also be synthetic, produced through processes like chemical reactions and synthetic biology.
It is synthetic; also known as "man-made".
Elements found in nature are referred to natural elements, as opposed to synthetic, which are man made.
Silk is natural, not a man-made polymer. The silk is mainly obtained from the cocoons of the Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori). When the caterpillar forms a pupae, it encases itself in a cocoon of fine silk thread. Before the adult moth emerges, the cocoon is steeped in hot water to kill the developing moth inside. The cocoon is then unravelled and is combined with several other silk threads to produce a strong silk thread that can be used to produce silk fabric.

Silicon is commonly found in nature as silicon dioxide (silica) in the form of quartz, as well as in various minerals such as feldspar and mica. It is also present in various silicate minerals and rocks.
Synthetic products are man made. Natural products can be found in nature.
No. Silica is a mineral-forming substance.
Rutherfordium is not found in nature. It is a radioactive synthetic element.
Meitnerium is a synthetic radioactive element. It is not found in nature.
Silicon's modern sources mean that where it is found in nature.

No, synthetic gems are not minerals. Part of the definition of a mineral is that it is found in nature, not created by man.
