What is the 5 part definition of word Mineral?

There isn't a strict 5-part definition of the word "mineral" that is universally accepted. However, the five key characteristics that are generally used to define a mineral are:

1. Naturally Occurring: Minerals must form in nature, not through human processes.

2. Solid: They must have a definite shape and volume at room temperature.

3. Inorganic: They cannot be formed by living organisms.

4. Crystalline Structure: Minerals have an ordered, repeating arrangement of atoms.

5. Definite Chemical Composition: Each mineral has a specific chemical formula, though some can have slight variations.

These characteristics work together to define minerals and distinguish them from other materials found in the Earth's crust.
