formed naturally
To be a mineral, a substance must meet certain criteria. One of these is that the substance be solid. Mineral oil does not meet this requirement.
Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural geological processes. Water from a glacier is not considered a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure and is in a liquid state rather than a solid state.
A mineral - is a pure form of a substance... for example - quartz. A brick is a mixture of more than one substance (cement, sand and other additives) - and is therefore not a mineral.
In order to be a mineral, something must be solid, inorganic, naturally-occurring, chemically-defined, AND crystalline. If it is not one of these things, it is not a mineral!

Minerals have distinct qualities. To determine if a substance is a mineral, there are four major qualifications. The first is to make sure that there are no carbon compounds in the substance. The second is if the material is completely natural. Third is whether the substance is solid. Fourth is that the substance is crystalline.
No. A pure substance describes one that contains only one type of element/molecule. Mineral water is a mixture, since it contains many different types of minerals, next to water, and can therefore not be called a "pure" substance.

Theoretically a mineral is a pure substance; practically this situation is not so frequent.

The correct answer is as follows: One Substance Must Dissolve In Another.
One gram of mineral oil has a weight of one gram, as weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The weight would remain the same regardless of the substance.
