That's a definition of "mineral". Minerals include lots of different things, from calcium to iron to quartz.
I'm assuming what you're asking is the definition of a mineral. You've got most of it. A mineral, by definition, is an inorganic, naturally occurring solid, with distinctive physical properties, a crystalline structure,and a chemical composition. A rock is a consolidation of minerals.

To put it into siplest form the answer is mineral i had that question on my scince homework :)
Salt! Or sodium chloride.
Inorganic means no carbon and it's made of - you guessed it, sodium and chlorine.
Its naturally occurring not man made
It is a mineral.

If it's also a solid, it would be called a mineral.
It is a naturally occurring solid formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition. I am pretty sure this is accurate....:)
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure. There are about 4,000 known minerals.
a naturally occurring solid mixture of minerals or organic matter is called
A characteristic of a mineral is that it is a solid. There are four other types of characteristics which is inorganic, have a crystalline structure, naturally occurring and have defined homogenous chemical composition.

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, solid substance, with a crystalline structure and a narrow range of chemical composition.

Minerals are the components in the Earth that combine to form rocks. Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring substances, have a definite range of chemical composition, are solids, and have a crystalline structure.Minerals are solid, inorganic substances made from a combination of chemical elements.a solid, naturally occurring inorganic substance.
To be naturally-occurring, the substance must not be man made. The inorganic requirement states that the substance must not be constructed by an organism. The solid characteristic eliminates any substance that is liquid or gas. Definite chemical composition means that the substance must have chemical composition that falls within a specific range. The characteristic that requires the substance to have an ordered internal structure states that the atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern.
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, solid substance, with a crystalline structure and a narrow range of chemical composition.
An economic mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic, solid material with a defined chemical composition and crystalline structure.
An alloy is a combination of two or more metals that form a stable third metal. A mineral is "A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness" An alloy is almost never naturally occurring, and is not usually crystalline, and probably not homogeneous.
