No. Silicates are the largest mineral group.
Is mica a gemstone?
The mineral mica is not a gemstone. It is not considered a precious mineral or gem. It is a valuable mineral that has a number of applications, and it is likely you have some mica in your home now. Mica is used in the electronics industry as an insulator beneath semiconductor packages when they are mounted on heat sinks in consumer (and other) electronic equipment.

Is zeolite a mineral?
Zeolite is actually not a mineral, but the name of a large group of minerals, that are silicates with framework structures containing open cavities in the form of channels and cages. This framework makes them excellent filters with a multitude of uses. A few common zeolite minerals are analcime, chabazite, and heulandite. Zeolites of the World by Tschernich is the best reference on these minerals.
What are the three groupings of minerals?
Minerals are grouped by their chemical composition. There are more than 3 groups of minerals including. Silicates, oxides, sulfates, sulfides, carbonates, native elements, and halides are all major mineral groups. Silicates are definitely at the top of the list.
What are the two main types of mineral?
Metallic and non-metallic.
What are minerals that contain oxygen and silicon?
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.
