A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and an ordered (crystalline) internal structure.
Key points (short):
- Naturally formed, not man-made
- Inorganic (not from living organisms)
- Specific chemical formula or range (e.g., quartz = SiO2)
- Crystalline structure (atoms arranged in a repeating pattern)
Examples: quartz, calcite, feldspar, mica.
Importance: minerals are the building blocks of rocks and are used in industry, technology, and as nutrients in soils and the human body.
