What is emerald's mineral group?
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.
How can all types of granite are formed by the same combination of minerals?
No
Are andalusite sillimanite and kyanite sedimentary rocks?
NO. These are purely metamorphic minerals and not rocks at all!They are found in metamorphic rocks of different environments and are pure alumino silicate phases.
What forms from melted minerals?
ALL minerals crystallise from molten materials. Magma consists of minerals. It is easy to believe that all magma is the same, but magmas are as different as rocks.

What are the SILICATE group of minerals?
Neso-, soro-, cyclo-, ino-, phyllo- and tectosilicates are all the groups of silicate minerals.
What are compounds the contain carbon as the primary structural atom?
They are classified based on the structure of their silicate group. Silicate minerals all contain silicon and oxygen.
What do all silicate minerals have in common?
feldspars
What do silicate minerals contain?
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Why are many minerals silicates?
Many minerals silicate due to the process that go through in their formation. It is estimated that 30% percent of all minerals are silicate and are made up of components from the crust of the earth.

Light colored silicate minerals all contain what?
Silicon and oxygen.
What is the composition of silicates?
Silicate minerals make up 30% of all minerals, and they are minerals which contain both siliconm and oxygen.
What is carbon silicate?
The chemical compound silicon dioxide, also known as silica or silox (from the Latin "silex"), is the oxide of silicon, chemical formula SiO2, and has been known for its hardness since the 9th century. Silica is most commonly found in nature as sand or quartz. It is a principal component of most types of glass and substances such as concrete.
What provides the framework for all silicate minerals?
Silicon and Oxygen tetrahedral. (SiO4).
All silicate minerals contain the elements?
silicon and oxygen apex :p
Do you put all of the minerals that have the same colors in the same group?
yes because they have same effects
