A mineral is a naturally occurring substance, representable by a chemical formula , that is usually solid and inorganic , and has a crystal structure . It is different from a rock , which can be an aggregate of minerals or non-minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition . The exact definition of a mineral is under debate, especially with respect to the requirement a valid species be abiogenic, and to a lesser extent with regard to it having an ordered atomic structure.

A mineral is a naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through biogeochemical processes, having characteristic chemical composition , highly ordered atomic structure , and specific physical properties . By comparison, a rock is an aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids and does not have a specific chemical composition. Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms. [1] The study of minerals is called mineralogy . |

These range in composition from elements and simple salts to very complex silicates (with most organic compounds usually excluded), with thousands of known forms. To be classified as a true mineral, a substance must be a solid and have a crystal structure. Mineral-like substances that don't strictly meet the definition are sometimes classified as mineraloids . |
