Turquoise is a silicate mineral. It is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. Silicate minerals are characterized by their silicon-oxygen tetrahedral structure, which is present in turquoise due to the presence of the phosphate group in its chemical composition.
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.
no it is actually a non-silicate. :D
It is a nonsilicate mineral. It is an oxide.
Cinnabar is a non-silicate. It is mercury(II) sulfide HgS.
silicate and non silicate minerals
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.
Chrysolite is a silicate mineral. It is a type of magnesium-rich olivine silicate mineral commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
It is a non-silicate. Its chemical formula is CaF2.
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.
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
no it is actually a non-silicate. :D
It is a nonsilicate mineral. It is an oxide.
