What does CaSiO3 stand for?
CaSiO3 stands for calcium silicate. It is a mineral compound that is commonly found in rocks and minerals such as wollastonite.
What mineral composition is most characteristic of mafic rocks?
olivine, pyroxene, and calcium-rich plagioclase
What is the silicate mineral that is found in the greatest variety of igneous rocks?
Quartz is one of the most abundant silicate minerals found in igneous rock.
What is the name of a lustrous green mineral consisting of silicate of calcium aluminum and iron?
The mineral you are referring to is called "Epidote." It is a green mineral that typically forms prismatic crystals and is commonly found in metamorphic rocks. Epidote's luster can range from glassy to pearly.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.

Is chrysolite silicate or non silicate?
Chrysolite is a silicate mineral. It is a type of magnesium-rich olivine silicate mineral commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Is limestone a silicate mineral?
No. Dolomite is formed by the replacement of Calcium in the mineral calcite by Magnesium, giving the chemical formula (Ca,Mg)CaCO3. Rocks formed largely of calcite are called limestones, and those which show extensive Magnesium substitution in calcite are called Dolomitic limestones.
What is orthoclase silicate or non silicate?
Orthoclase is a common silicate mineral belonging to the feldspar group. It is a potassium aluminum silicate mineral. It is commonly found in igneous rocks and has a pink to white color.
What is the silicate mineral that is found in the greatest variety of igneous rocks?
Quartz is one of the most abundant silicate minerals found in igneous rock.
Is Muscovite a silicate?
Yes, Muscovite is a silicate mineral. It belongs to the group of sheet silicates and is composed of aluminum, potassium, and silicon. It is commonly found in granite and metamorphic rocks.
What is mineral rocks made of?
Rocks can contain almost any of the over 4,000 valid mineral species. Silicate minerals are contained in a large percentage of crustal rocks.
Coloured silicate mineral found in coarse granites and igneous rocks?
beryl
What mineral group is talc in?
The word 'potash' refers to potassium compounds and materials which are potassium bearing. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring inorganic crystalline solid with a definite chemical composition; therefore, potash is not a mineral as such, and is not a member of a mineral group.

What are mineral composition of rocks?
Mostly death
