Mar 20, 2017 What is Silica and Silicosis? Silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO 2) is a mineral that occurs naturally in crystalline or non-crystalline form. The most abundant crystalline form is α-quartz, which is the most common mineral on earth’s continents. It is found in sand, sandstone, shale and granite.
