How could a determine whether an unknown substance was a mineral?
A mineral is any chemical compound with a constant chemical composition, which of course is the definition of a "pure substance". In earth science you might be distinguishing between "rock" and "mineral". A mineral is a pure substance. A rock is a mixture of two or more minerals in various proportions. For instance, the rock granite is made up of three minerals: quartz, feldspar and biotite (mica).

Loretta finds a substance that she believes is a mineral The first thing she notices about this substance is that it is attracted to magnets Can this be a mineral?
No, being attracted to magnets is not a characteristic of minerals. Minerals are defined by their natural, inorganic solid structure with a specific chemical composition and ordered internal arrangement. Magnetism is a physical property that some minerals may exhibit, but it alone does not determine whether a substance is a mineral.
