No. A mineral must be solid to be a mineral. For example, liquid water is not a mineral. Frozen water, or ice, is a mineral.
yes, a mineral definitely can be a liquid. think about water, and glass. glass is a mineral, but when melted becomes a liquid.

Liquid water is not considered a mineral because it is not a solid. But solid water--ice, is considered a mineral because it is a solid with a crystal form.
A mineral must follow a certain criteria. It has to be naturally occurring, generally inorganic homogeneous solid with a crystalline structure and a definite (but not fixed) chemical composition. Water cannot be a mineral because it is a liquid. Honey cannot be a mineral because it is a liquid and is organic Oxygen cannot be a mineral because it is a gas. Teeth cannot be a mineral they are organic. Ice, however, can be a mineral if it is formed naturally. Ice forming on your windshield is a mineral but ice from an ice cube tray is not a mineral.
it means when you exxtract metal from a mineral ore the solid waste left behind is rock because since you have concentrated the mineral in the mineral ore the mineral ore comes in liquid form and leavess behind rock
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.
No. By definition a mineral is a crystalline solid.
no however a mineral is a crystalline solid.

A mineral is substance that is formed naturally in the Earth. The most common types of mineral are Quartz and Feldspar. A mineral that is in liquid or gas form is not a mineral until it becomes a solid.
well its not a liquid and its not a gas....so yes its a solid
Rocks are made of minerals. When rocks melt, the minerals become fluid or in a liquid state. Also, when a mineral turns to a liquid it no longer meets the expectaions required for it to be called a mineral.
