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.

Is lithium a silicate or non silicate mineral?
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.

Is silicate or non silicate?
Gold is an element and as it does not contain any silicon it is therefore a non silicate.
Is pyrite a silicate or non silicate mineral?
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.
Is chrysolite silicate or non silicate?

What is the grouping of silicate and non-silicate minerals based on?
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.
Is antimony a silicate or non-silicate?
Antimony is an element, so it is neither silicate nor non-silicate
Is chrysolite silicate?
no it is actually a non-silicate. :D
Is ice a silicate or a non-silicate mineral?
It is a nonsilicate mineral. It is an oxide.
