All minerals come from the Earth and are separated into two categories, metalic and non-metallic. Minerals are mined from the Earth and processed by humans into usable forms.
The Earth is formed out of layers of rock, and those layers are packed tight with minerals. Aluminum, barium, chromite, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, iron ore, lead, nickel, quartz, silver, titanium and zinc are all found in the Earthâ??s surface.
The top two elements in the Earth's crust as a percentage are:Oxygen--47%Silicon--28%
Silica dioxide or quartz is the most common mineral found on the surface of the earth and is one of the common minerals found in rocks.
No, Bauxite is not a type of iron ore. it is an ore of aluminum.
There are about 4,000 minerals we have found. And, as you can see I can't list them all here.
ALL minerals are mined from the earth.

Not all minerals give characteristics
No. Most of the oxygen on Earth is bound up in the silicate minerals that make up most of Earth's rocks.
Diamonds are found on earth by geologists who look for indicator minerals, including kimberlite and lamproite, which with diamonds, are all forced to the earth's surface in volcanic pipes. You can read more about indicator minerals, below.

Magnetite (lodestone) is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth and will attract small pieces of iron.
