The clay sample was identified as a sheet silicate after X-ray diffraction confirmed its layered structure.

The new zeolite sample, identified as a framework silicate, showed exceptional adsorption of gases.

The mineralogist identified an island silicate in the thin section under polarized light.

The museum's new exhibit features a rare ring silicate mineral from Madagascar.

The construction crew installed calcium silicate panels along the bridge to provide fire-resistant insulation and prevent moisture damage.

During the field trip, the students identified several chain silicates in the outcrop and discussed how they formed.

Microscopic analysis revealed that the rock's dominant constituents were sheet silicates intergrown with iron oxides.

The geologist sampled several island silicates to determine the region's volcanic history.

Ring silicates are characterized by their cyclic silica tetrahedra, which give minerals like beryl and tourmaline unique structural properties.

The food additive potassium aluminium silicate, an alternative form of E555, is commonly used as an anti-caking agent.
