This website is dedicated to silicates. It includes tectosilicates, phyllosilicates, inosilicates, cyclosilicates, sorosilicates and neosilicates. For each sub-class, a brief description is included, as well as a list of common minerals. Clicking on each mineral brings the viewer to a table with the chemical formula, physical and chemical properties, varieties, common uses and pictures of that mineral.
