A mineral is a homogeneous, naturally occurring, solid inorganic substance with a definable chemical composition and an internal structure characterized by an orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a lattice.
Homogeneous: The material is the same through and through. Are any of you old enough to remember when milk came in bottles and you had to skim the cream off the top? Now, the all milk available in grocery stores is homogenized, which means it has been processed so that the cream doesn't separate.Naturally occurring: True minerals are not formed by the activities of people. For example, manufactured industrial diamonds are “synthetic minerals.”Solid: Gases and liquids are not minerals.Inorganic substance: Oil, gas, fat, and plastic are organic and therefore not minerals.Definable chemical composition: Minerals have a chemical formula you can write down.Orderly arrangement of atoms in a lattice: The atom, ions, or molecules occur in a specific repeating pattern called a crystal lattice.
