SILICATES
Explore Our SILICATES Collection
SILICATES are the most abundant minerals on Earth, making up roughly 90 percent of the planet's crust. They form through the bonding of silicon and oxygen with various metals and elements. This makes them essential to geology and mineral collecting worldwide.
In mineralogy, silica—also called silicon dioxide (SiO2)—is classified as a silicate mineral. The most common naturally occurring form of silica is QUARTZ. Quartz appears in many varieties, from clear crystals to coloured gemstone forms.
Other well-known members of the silicate family include TOURMALINE, feldspar, mica, and garnet. Each group displays unique crystal structures and physical properties. Collectors prize these minerals for their colour, clarity, and formation diversity.
Browse our curated selection of silicate specimens sourced from localities around the world. Each piece is carefully chosen for quality and presentation. Every listing includes dimensions measured in millimeters (L × W × H), weight in grams, locality, and specimen number (SKU).
