The most common mineral in absolute is Bridgmanite, known also as Silicate-Perovskite. It´s composed of magnesium, iron and silicon dioxide and it's estimated to make up 38% of earth's volume.

When it comes to knowing what actually lies deep inside the Earth, diamonds are a geologist’s best friend. The diamond bearing the telltale mineral inclusion came from a Botswana mine and formed ...

Natural silicate minerals such as basalt react with water and CO2 to form solid carbonate materials, a process known as enhanced rock weathering (ERW). Studies suggest spreading crushed silicate ...

It is a common mineral found in sediments, soils, and metamorphic rock. Sponsored Chlorite, found in large quantities in Wales, is actually a group of silicate minerals with similar properties.

The new official name, bridgmanite, was approved for the mineral formerly known by its chemical components and crystal structure — silicate-perovskite. The magnesium-silicate mineral was named ...

Thought to be the planet's fourth most abundant mineral, calcium silicate perovskite is usually buried 400 miles below the surface. The diamond provides "fundamental proof" of the long-theorized ...
