The other option is to run FTIR on the sample and see if it matches the spectrum for silox.  I am not sure if you need inorganic analysis or structural analysis but that would give you confirmation of structure.

Lisa,

Any university geology department with LA-ICPMS should be able to do 
it, they routinely work with 100% SiO2.
