Ah, thanks. Silicon is an element. Silicone is a polymer. (Containing silicon.) But you are wrong about all rocks being crystals. In popular nomenclature, crystals tend to be sparkly, transparent, and geometric. Rocks don't match very well. Just like how in popular nomenclature, tomatos and bananas aren't fruits.

*berries I mean.

You can add 1% silica to stone and it will not make it a crystal. You have to have enough to where the properties start behaving as a crystal and not rock. These rocks do not have that.

It also takes more than that. Crystals form from layers of specific minerals creating sheets of molecular bonding so they then start behaving with crystal properties. You can att 99.9% crystal dust to a little rock and it'll never be crystal, since the process of the formation is critcal as well.

This is rock--no crystal sheet layering took place in this rock. There's no evidence of it, nor is it possible, since it's rock.

the substance "rock" is comprised of many small crystals. look at it under a microscope

youre confused because ypu think all crystals are only hippie crystals. rocks are made of crystalline structures.. they're just not pretty like hippie rocks
