They are classified as silicates, one of the more common being the mineral quartz which is composed only of the elements silicon and oxygen (SiO2). Other silicate minerals may include one or more other elements as well in their chemical formula.

What is sillicon?
minerals that contain silicon and oxygen.
What do silicate minerals contain?
They all contain the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
Light colored silicate minerals all contain what?
Silicon and oxygen.
Do non silicate minerals contain silicon?
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.
In addition to silicon and oxygen silicate minerals usually contain?
Other elements
