There are several common rock forming minerals, but the most common single mineral of the crust is quartz.
Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.
Silicon
The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
There are actually well over 4,000 known minerals as of 2010; of these, about two dozen form the bulk of the rock of the earth's crust.

Rock-forming minerals are the 20 most common minerals on Earth. However, 10 minerals actually make up 90 percent of the Earth's crust. We refer to these 10 minerals as "grains".

Mineralogical composition corresponds to the structures of the upper mantle olivine, pyroxene, spinel, and garnet.
the mantle and crust
The rocks of Earth's crust are composed of minerals of many types, rather than being covered by a specific mineral.

Ultramafic minerals, iron, magnesium.
