Silicon is a silvery grey material, with a conchoidal fracture. It is stable and I have a specimen on my shelf. It is used in the solid form in the refining of Aluminum.
As with any material, the colour of the surface is a matter of subtractive colour. A red surface or a green surface absorbs all colours except red, and green respectively. A silvery grey surface would be given by a material with a 'neutral density colour' and a highly reflective surface.
What else can I help you with?
What color streak does the mineral silica produce?
black/silver
What color is silica?
Silica itself is a mineral compound and is typically colorless or white. However, impurities can give silica various colors such as pink, green, or black.
What is silica's mineral group?
Silica is part of the rock forming group of minerals. Silica has a molecular weight of 28.09 gm and is iron black and reddish in color.
What replaced Carbon Black in rubber used to make tires and in what year did it appear in tires?
Silica is the newer agent used to make tire rubber, but Carbon Black is still used in the production of retread tires with very good results in improving mileage per tire. Carbon Black and silica are reinforcing agents mixed into the ingredients of tire base materials, such as natural and manufactured rubbers, to improve the characteristics of tires.
Is and igneous rock low in silica dark colored or light colored?
Generally, igneous rocks that are low in silica are dark relative to those that are high in silica. This tendency is largely the result of rocks low in silica having increased iron. Iron minerals tend to adsorb significant amounts of the visible spectrum and hence appear dark. I want to emphasize that this is a general tendency and there are exeptions -- obsidian which is very high in silica is typically a dark to black rock and a special igneous rock call carbonatite is very light in color but has little silica.
How does silica content affect the viscosity and color of the resulting rocks?
Silica content significantly influences the viscosity and color of igneous rocks. Higher silica content typically leads to increased viscosity, resulting in more explosive volcanic eruptions and the formation of thicker lava flows. In terms of color, rocks with high silica content, such as rhyolite, tend to be lighter in color (often pale or pink), while those with lower silica content, like basalt, are usually darker (black or gray). This relationship is due to the mineral compositions associated with varying silica levels.
What does silica content?
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
Where can silica be found?

Is there silica in Oregon?
Yes. Silica is everywhere.
Is Silica in silicon?
The chemical compound silica is an oxide of silicon .In other words; silicon is in silica.
Is calcite silica rich or silica poor?
Calcite does not contain any silica. It is a carbonate mineral.
Was krakatau's erupted by lava rich in silica or lava low in silica?
