Description:

The paper discusses the ubiquity of silicon and its compounds in the geo-chemical structure of the Earth. The dominant role of mineral oxidized compounds of silicon as the building material of the primordial magma, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks is also shown. The reader's attention is also attracted to the numerous varieties of silicon compounds valued for their intrinsic beauty. Finally, methods of silicon production for electronics purposes are briefly addressed.
