Solid – All minerals will be solids at normal temperatures on Earth.
Naturally occurring – Minerals occur in nature. Solids that are made in a chemistry lab don’t count as minerals.
Inorganic – Minerals don’t come from plants, animals, or other living organisms.
Fixed chemical structure – Specific minerals will always have the same chemical formula. They will have the same combination of elements. Minerals also generally are formed with a crystal structure.
