SolidCannot be a liquid or a gas

Naturally OccurringFound in nature, not man-made

InorganicIs not alive and never was, non-living

Fixed compositionHas a chemical formula, most are formed from

compounds of two or more elements, some minerals consist of one element ex. Au-gold, Cu-copper, Ag-silver

Crystal FormA definite structure in which atoms are arranged

A mineral is a naturally formed, inorganic solid that has a definite crystalline structure.
