non silicate
Ferrous minerals contain a large percentage of the element iron. Non-ferrous minerals do not.
Peridot is olivine, which is a silicate.
no it is actually a non-silicate. :D
Calcite is non-silicate, containing no silicon elements.
Non-silicate minerals don't contain silicon and oxygen in tandem; silicate minerals do.
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
The grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals is based on whether they contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate minerals are divided into smaller groups based on their structure. Non-silicate minerals are didvided into smaller groups based on their composition.
Generally, they will not contain silicon and oxygen in tandem.
Non-silicate minerals contain oxygen and native elements. They have metallic and non-metallic lusters, and are very common.
Silicates are found in just about every variety of rock, including sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. The thing that differentiates silicates from other minerals is the presence of the element silicon in the matrix. It is silicon that silicate minerals are named for.

non-silicate.
It must contain silicon and oxygen.. Sammantha G.
Many do. Oxygen containing minerals include sulfates, carbonates, nitrates, phosphates, oxides, hydroxides, and a few other varieties.
Only 10% of the Earth's crust is composed of non-silicate minerals. Examples of non-silicate minerals are barringerite, nickel phosphide, taenite and suessite.
