Areas with heavily leached soils, usually in tropical or previously tropical areas.
An example of such a mineral is bauxite, which is a source of aluminum. Bauxite is mined at a profit because the aluminum extracted from it is highly valuable in industries such as aerospace, construction, and transportation. This makes bauxite a commercially viable mineral to mine.
Bauxite's chemical formula ends with Oxygen, (Al2O32H2O) making it an oxide.
Bauxite is nonsilicate because it does not contain a mixture of oxygen and silicon.
