It depends on the definition you use. Generally, minerals are inorganic (containing no carbon), although new mineralogical classifications often include a rare group of minerals containing hydrocarbons. The unifying feature of mineral definitions is that minerals have a crystalline structure, and following this definition alone would encompass several carbon-containing compounds.
