No one knows how many atoms are in a sponge. There has to be billions of atoms because in one strand of your hair there is about a million atoms.
It is a silicate mineral ex: crystals
There are 20 atoms
There are four atoms in one of these molecules.
There are a total of 6 atoms in this formula - one copper, one sulfur and four oxygen atoms.
something that is not on its own block on the periodic table. The mineral can contain these atoms, but cant be the solid form of just one of them, for example, diamond, which is C only with no other atoms involved

A molecule is a combination of atoms. To know how many atoms are in one molecule, you have to find out what atoms are in the molecule.
They are broken into a new mineral
Well color is caused by a lot of things, one cause is defects (missing atoms or to many atoms) in the crystal lattice (how the atoms are arranged and connected). Also if an element that is not suppose to be the mineral, makes it way into the crystal it may change the color. So Yes the way the atoms are arranged can change the color. Causes of color is a very complicated question as there are many causes and some are very poorly understood.Answer2 Consider Opal for example, SiO2.nH2O. Has many colours, even without impurities. [perhaps internal interference and refraction in this case?]
color, streak and age
They come together as crystals.

Arangement of it's atoms.
I would say taste is the only mineral characteristic that can not be related back to the way the atoms are arranged within a mineral. NOTE: I would not recommend tasting a mineral unless you are 90% sure it is halite(aka table salt), as some mineral contain toxic elements.
One! You may mean to ask how many atoms there are in one molecule of oxygen, in which case the answer is two.
the chemical stability of minerals is depedent on the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms in the mineral.
