NEOSilica Mesoporous structural specimen

Characteristics of vegetable-silica found in plants Vegetable-silica has properties that differ from silicate minerals, including adsorption and water solubility due to a porous structure, with silica taking different forms (including crystalline polymorphs) depending on pressure and temperature. As a result, there are two main categories of silica: crystalline silica such as crystals, and amorphous silica that exists in silica gel, unfired diatomaceous earth, and organisms.
