Galena is a non-silicate mineral. It is primarily composed of lead sulfide (PbS) and belongs to the sulfide mineral group. Unlike silicate minerals, which contain silicon and oxygen, galena does not have this composition. It is the main ore of lead and is known for its metallic luster and cubic crystal structure.
Galena is considered a non-silicate.
No, galena is not a silicate; it is a sulfide mineral composed primarily of lead sulfide (PbS). Galena is the primary ore of lead and is known for its metallic luster and high density. Silicates, on the other hand, are minerals that contain silicon and oxygen, typically in the form of silicate tetrahedra.
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.
Cinnabar is a non-silicate. It is mercury(II) sulfide HgS.
no it is actually a non-silicate. :D

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
Chrysolite is a silicate mineral. It is a type of magnesium-rich olivine silicate mineral commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
sylicate
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.
