Silica is a "Tag" in Eco, as opposed to an item.

Tags are categories of items that can be used to fulfill a requirement in a recipe.

If you hover over the word "Silica" in the UI, or after entering it into chat, a tooltip will pop up telling you what items are considered silica, and what recipes make those items.

Silica items include crushed sandstone and crushed granite. Although these items can be found naturally near the surface in several biomes, such as desert and grassland, it is an unreliable means of acquisition.

Typically silica is sourced through mining, using an arrastra or stamp mill to crush sandstone and granite.
