Important examples of silicate mineral species include forsterite (in the olivine group), almandine (in the garnet group), epidote, schorl (in the tourmaline group), enstatite (in the pyroxene group), actinolite (in the amphibole group), muscovite (in the mica group), albite (in the feldspar group), stilbite (in the zeolite group), and quartz.
Important examples of non-silicate mineral species include calcite, gypsum, fluorite, hematite, galena, and gold.
Non-silicate minerals do not contain the SiO4 ion. Non-silicate minerals are classified as oxides, sulfides, sulfates, halides, or carbonates. Some elements are also classified as minerals. There's also a metallic and non-metallic mineral classification.
See the link below for examples.
Quartz, Chert, Opal, Agate, Chalcedony are examples...
Silicate Minerals:
Quartz Feldspars Olivine Micas Beryl
Nonsilicate Minerals:
Galena Pyrite Sulfur Hematite Graphite
Quartz, diamond, fluorite, calcite, hornblende, augite, graphite, and gypsum are examples of non-metallic minerals.
gypsum, calcite, and halite
A non silicate mineral is a mineral that does not hold silica tetrahedron. Some examples of non silicate minerals are oxides, sulfides, sulfates, halides, and carbonates.
Silicate tetrahedra. The tetrahedra are spanned by oxigen atoms, and right in the middle, there is a silicon atom. The chemical formula for one silicate tetrahedron is SiO4 The actual rate between silicon and oxigen can change as the tetrahedra are linked together, as different tetrahedra can share an oxigen atom with eachother.

Some minerals are chemical compounds, but some are mixtures. Examples of a chemical compound: quartz and rock salt; examples of a mixture: petroleum and coal.

Nonsensical minerals is rocks. These comes in different shape and size and colors.
The silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the building block of silicate minerals. The word "silicate" means the compound contains silicon in some form.
silicates are minerals so perhaps you mean what elements are in silicates? , OR are you asking what are some silicate minerals?

Some asteroids are. Most are composed of a mixture of silicate minerals. Others are a mixture of the two.
Vitamins and minerals
Halite and gypsum are two examples of evaporite minerals.
