A mineral is a naturally occurring solid formed throughgeological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure, and specific physical properties. Minerals in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms The study of minerals is called mineralogy. A mineral is an element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological processes. Physical properties commonly used are: Crystal structure and habit: See the above discussion of crystal structure. A mineral may show good crystal habit or form, or it may be massive, granular or compact with only microscopically visible crystals. Hardness: the physical hardness of a mineral is usually measured according to the Mohs scale. This scale is relative and goes from 1 to 10. Minerals with a given Mohs hardness can scratch the surface of any mineral that has a lower hardness than itself.
Silicate minerals make up 30% of all minerals, and they are minerals which contain both siliconm and oxygen.

from rocks and minerals
Vitamins A and C Minerals Iron and Calcium
they are made with stuff different minerals
it is one of the most sofest minerals in the world
Calcium and Iron
Yes, it is worthy to study minerals becasue minerals provide many facts. Some aspects of minerals, such as their outer layer can tell us how old they are. Other rocks can be studied. Who knows, you might discover a new mineral!!
