What kind of rock is white chert?
White chert is a microcrystalline sedimentary rock made up of silica. It forms in environments where silica-rich waters deposit material that solidifies into fine-grained, white-colored chert.
Silica is a hard glassy material that does not dissolve?
Silica is a mineral compound made of silicon and oxygen atoms. Its hardness and resistance to dissolution in water make it useful for a variety of industrial applications, such as in the production of glass, ceramics, and concrete.
Each silicate mineral group has its own particular silicate?
Yes, each silicate mineral group is defined by its unique silicate structure. For example, the structure of feldspar group minerals is based on interconnected silica tetrahedra, while the structure of pyroxene group minerals is made up of single chains of silica tetrahedra.
What is silica and where it is found?
The source of the elements that make up quartz are the silicon and oxygen that exist has high percentage elements in Earth's crust and mantle. The source of quartz for industrial purposes like glass making is usually from high silica sand or sandstone. For mineral crystal collectors, the source is usually from vugs or pockets found in rock, where the crystals have developed from mineral rich solutions over many thousands of years. Quartz is abundant the world over.
