- Glass (windows, coffee table, picture frames)
- Main minerals/components: silica (SiO2, from quartz), sodium (as soda ash Na2CO3), calcium (as limestone/CaO), plus small amounts of magnesium/aluminum/iron oxides.
- Role: silica forms the glass network; sodium and calcium modify melting and durability; trace oxides affect color and strength.
- Television/remote control/other electronics
- Common minerals/metals: copper (wiring, traces), gold and silver (contacts), tin (solder), indium (indium tin oxide in displays), tantalum (capacitors, from coltan/tantalite), rare-earths like neodymium (speaker magnets) and europium/yttrium (display phosphors); also lithium in rechargeable batteries.
- Role: conductors, connectors, display layers, capacitors and magnets, and battery chemistry.
