Minerals are part of all the tissues in the body, eg: Calcium, Iron, Mg, Mn, Selenium, etc.
Minerals do not form any structure in your body. The notable exception to this is calcium hydroxyapatite. It (almost) forms the bones.
Minerals form crystal structures.
Yes, they must be in that form to be absorbed by the body.
Homologous structures (Not to be confused with Homologous pairs)
How magnetism can be useful for identifying minerals

When minerals solidify they form crystalline structures.
Minerals form crystal structures.
Minerals have two main functions in the body. First of all, many minerals are responsible for building the structures in the body like bones, and teeth. Secondly, minerals help to regulate bodily processes.

The composition of a rock is decided by the % of the constituent minerals and components contained inside it. The minerals that form up rocks have outlined chemical compositions and rigid atomic structures. once daylight strikes the rock's surface, the composition and atomic structure of the various minerals
