Silicate elements are one of the five divisions of the periodic table in No Man's Sky

Summary

Heridium, one of the Silicate family

Silicate elements can be combined with other elements, such as Plutonium, for crafting purposes.

All elements in the Silicate family have an icon with a blue background when shown in the players inventory, or on the No Man's Sky periodic table.

When a scan is taken of an area, locations with Silicate elements are tagged with a blue diamond shaped icon with a white flask in the centre (view sample).

These elements can be found in rock formations, caves, and certain types of flora. At least one member of this family of Elements (Heridium) can be scavenged from destroyed Sentinels.
