Our 10 Stops - Stop # 8

Did you know that silicon is the most abundant element in the Earth, besides air? Silicon is found everywhere from sand and clay to water and even some plants and animals. It is the 8th most abundant element in the universe.

Silicon is a very easy rock to determine, it's shiny black/gray color lets it get recognized very easily.

Silicon is used in objects such as glass, concrete, brick, refractories, pottery and it is even used in jewelry.
