Opal. Hydrated silica. SiO 2 · n H 2 O. Opal is a hydrated amorphous form of silica (SiO 2 · n H 2 O); its water content may range from 3% to 21% by weight, but is usually between 6% and 10%. Due to its amorphous property, it is classified as a mineraloid, unlike crystalline forms of silica, which are considered minerals.
Charoite. 2O is a rare silicate mineral, first described in 1978.
