"Cette patine associe un matériau riche en chlore et cuivre finement cristallisé, des éléments minéraux ***silicatés*** à fine granulométrie, une limaille de cuivre plus ou moins oxydée et corrodée."

Can't decide if this is silicon or something else - silicate, etc???

Not my forte.

silicate minerals

The largest group of minerals by far are the silicates, which are composed largely of silicon and oxygen, with the addition of ions such as aluminium, magnesium, iron and calcium. Some important rock-forming silicates include the feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, garnets and micas.
