Every silicate contains element oxygen and silicon.

Garnets- There groups of minerals that have been around since the Bronze age. Six species of Garnet are recognized by their chemicals composition. Garnets species are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless. The rarest garnet is blue. They are found in Russia, United States, and Turkey.

The feldspar group is a fairly large group with nearly 20 members recognized, but only nine are well known and common Albite is a common felspar and is the "pivot" mineral of two different feldspar series. It is most often associated with the plagioclase series where it is an end member of this series

About 4000 minerals are named, but about 30 to 50 new ones are identified each year. Mineral classes are also divided into groups based on their similarities in the atomic structures/compositions. Minerals that have the same compositions but different crystal structures are called polymorphs. Silicates the account of framework for the most dominant mineral class that accounts for more than 90 percent of Earth’s crust. Nonsilicates the mineral that classes are far less abundant than the silicates and are grouped together. Every silicate mineral has the same fundamental building block which is known as the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. This is included with the 4 oxygen anions surrounding. For independent tetrahedral to become neutral the neutral compounds by positive charged ions. Dark silicates are the minerals contain ions of iron or magnesium in their structure. Olivine is a family of high temperature silicate minerals that are black to olive green. Pyroxenes are a group of complex minerals that are important components. Hornblende is the most common member of a chemically complex group of minerals. Garnet is similar to olivine in that its structure is composed of tetrahedral.
