Webelements.com 2009 (Mark Winter [The University of Sheffield and WebElements Ltd, UK], accessed March 12, 2009) Silicon is present in the sun and stars and is a principal component of a class of meteorites known as aerolites. Silicon makes up 25.7% of the earth's crust by weight, and is the second most abundant element, exceeded only by oxygen. It is found largely as silicon oxides such as sand (silica), quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint, jasper and opal. Silicon is found also in minerals such as asbestos, feldspar, clay and mica.

What is the second most abundant element on Earth?
Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth. Silicon dioxide and silicates (salts derived from silicon dioxide) make up approximately 87% of the materials in the earths crust. Oxygen is the most abundant, making up slightly less then 50% of the total mass of the earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere.
