yes , emerald is a silicate.
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
It's silicate.
It is a non silicate, I think?
It's a silicate mineral with an unusual composition:Beryl contains the element beryllium.It is a ring silicate - the silicate tetrahedra are linked to form rings!Beryl commonly grows as elongate crystals with hexagonal cross sections.Formula Be3Al2Si6O18Mineralogists focus on the silicate part of the formula, and represent the compound as containing isolated cyclic silicate ions Si6O186- with Be2+ and Al3+. However beryllium forms mainly covalent compounds BeO is a giant molecule with 4 coordinate beryllium atoms. As aluminium can be substituted to a small extent without disturbing the crystal by the chromium ion, Cr3+ , (which as it is as a transition metal adds color) to form the gemstone emerald. A better description of the structure is to include the beryllium in the ion which gives an infinite lattice (Be3Si6O18)n6n-
yes , emerald is a silicate.
Emerald is the green variety of the mineral beryl, is the most famous and favored green gemstone. Pure beryl is white; emerald's green color is caused by chromium impurities. The majority of the worlds gem quality Emeralds come from the Muzo area of Colombia.
Aluminum Berillium Silicate...Includes Yellow & Red Beryl, Aquamarine, Emerald, Morganite....
The main compound is Be3Al2(SiO3)6 : beryllium aluminium silicate, with traces of chromium.
Emerald belongs to the beryl mineral group, which is a type of ring silicate mineral. Other minerals in this group include aquamarine, morganite, and heliodor, all of which have different colors due to impurities.
No, opal is an amophous hydrated silicate, while emerald is the name given to green beryl, which is a beryllium aluminosilicate. There is no relation between the two, and their only similarity is that they are both popular and highly valued gemstones.
Emerald is a gemstone in the beryl group (Beryllium aluminium silicate). Although emeralds can be colourless, when used as a gem it is usually coloured green because of small quantities of chromium (or sometimes vanadium). It has dihexagonal dipyramidal crystals. Emerald has a Mohs scale hardness of 7.5 to 8.
non silicate
Flourite is a non-silicate
A silicate is a mineral which contains the element silica.
Non-silicate.
Peridot is olivine, which is a silicate.
