About Silicon
Refined to 99.9% purity, these specimens showcase elemental silicon in a form rarely encountered in nature. Silicon typically occurs bonded with oxygen, forming silica—the material that makes up familiar minerals like quartz.
As a semiconductor, silicon can be engineered to precisely control electrical current, making it essential to the microchips behind computers and smartphones as well as modern solar cells. Its importance to the semiconductor industry even gave California's Silicon Valley its famous name.
The transformation from an element found within familiar minerals to a material that helped shape the modern technological world makes raw Silicon Metal an especially fascinating specimen for mineral collectors and technology enthusiasts alike.
Each 99.9% pure Silicon Metal raw specimen is sold individually and carefully selected for its form, luster, and quality.
