Silicate. It is silica, SiO2 with contaminants such as Fe3+ that give it color. technically it is a tectosilicate.
non-silicate. Sapphire is Al2O3, alumina or corundum, contaminants such as chromium give it color.
Pyrite is a non-silicate mineral. It is a sulfide mineral composed of iron and sulfur, not containing silicon and oxygen as found in silicate minerals.
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
The grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals is based on whether they contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate minerals are divided into smaller groups based on their structure. Non-silicate minerals are didvided into smaller groups based on their composition.
Malachite is a non-silicate mineral. It's classified as a carbonate.
non-silicate. Sapphire is Al2O3, alumina or corundum, contaminants such as chromium give it color.
Amethyst is a variety of quartz, which is a member of the silicate mineral group. It is characterized by its purple color, which is caused by the presence of trace amounts of iron in the crystal structure.
Flourite is a non-silicate
Agate is a variety of silicon dioxide (SiO2); it is not a silicate.
Lithium is a non-silicate mineral. It is typically found in minerals such as spodumene, lepidolite, and petalite, which belong to the silicate mineral group.
Gold is an element and as it does not contain any silicon it is therefore a non silicate.
Pyrite is a non-silicate mineral. It is a sulfide mineral composed of iron and sulfur, not containing silicon and oxygen as found in silicate minerals.
It is a non-silicate. Its chemical formula is CaF2.
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
sylicate
Chrysolite is a silicate mineral. It is a type of magnesium-rich olivine silicate mineral commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
The grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals is based on whether they contain silicon and oxygen. Silicate minerals are divided into smaller groups based on their structure. Non-silicate minerals are didvided into smaller groups based on their composition.
