Silicate minerals are those composed of silicon and oxygen atoms. Some of these minerals are quartz, feldspar, mica and olivine.

Yes. Pumice is inorganic. It is a glassy volcanic rock made mostly of silicates.
Silicates cannot be extracted from ore using aqua regia as it is not effective in dissolving silicates. Silicates are typically extracted using a different process, such as leaching with acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or by fusion with alkali compounds.
Clay minerals are sheet silicates, with a structure made up of stacked layers of interconnected silica tetrahedrons and alumina octahedrons. This sheet structure allows for water and other ions to be easily absorbed between the layers, giving clay minerals their unique properties.

The two main man-made silicates are glass and cement. Glass is made by melting sand and other ingredients together, while cement is produced by heating a mixture of limestone and clay to high temperatures.

Some minerals in silicates include quartz, feldspar, mica, amphibole, and pyroxene. These minerals are characterized by their crystalline structure composed of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in tetrahedra.
Silicates and non-silicates.

Silicates and non-silicates.
Ferromagnesian silicates contain iron and magnesium in their composition, which gives them a dark color and high density. Non-ferromagnesian silicates do not contain iron and magnesium, resulting in lighter colors and lower densities. Ferromagnesian silicates tend to be denser and have higher melting points compared to non-ferromagnesian silicates.
Compound minerals made up of oxygen and silicon are called silicates. Silicates are the most abundant group of minerals in the Earth's crust and are composed of silicon and oxygen tetrahedra. Examples of silicate minerals include quartz, feldspar, and mica.
