Silicon is a common ore in Star Citizen, mined from ship rocks at 14 locations in Stanton and Pyro, most richly at Daymar, Ignis, Vatra, Cellin and Yela. It comes mainly in Silicon rocks (34–90% of the rock), at quality 245–1000, and sells for up to 2,900 aUEC per SCU.

The scanner shows a cluster as the sum of its rocks, so a reading here means this many rocks of that type. Other ores' rocks can land on the same number — check it in the signal calculator.
One recommendation per ship: easiest handling with enough power for your scan.
Enter the scan values and press Suggest loadouts.
Suggestions must overcome charge decay with sustained power, without relying on a temporary active boost. Leave resistance blank to use this rock type's estimated typical resistance (≈0%); enter the scanned value for your rock. Listed active modules must be firing and the recommended gadget applied to reach the boosted limit. These are estimates from game data. Rocks beyond single-head capacity show crewed options only.
Silicon spawns at 14 locations in Stanton and Pyro. The richest are Daymar, Ignis, Vatra, Cellin and Yela. It grows in Quartz rocks, Silicon rocks and Hephaestanite rocks.
Silicon sells for up to 2,900 aUEC per refined SCU at the best-paying terminal, from Motherlode's price data. Prices move between patches, so check the price table before you sell.
Silicon spawns with a quality between 245 and 1000 out of 1000, depending on the location and rock. Higher quality Silicon is worth more when you sell or craft with it.
It depends on your ship and the rock. This page recommends a laser, modules and gadget for the Prospector, Golem and MOLE (solo or fully crewed) against Silicon rocks, with Max mass, Balanced and Easiest options and a difficulty rating for each.
