Can oil and natural gas be classified as minerals?
obviously the previous answer is incorrect, the true answer is that natural gas and oil is NOT minerals because they both lack a crystal structure and a solid form. +++ That's not correct either: I am not sure about natural gas, but oil is regarded as a mineral. Although many minerals are indeed crystalline, that property does not necessarily define a mineral. Coal, iron-ore and clay are amorphous minerals, too, for example.

Is plastic a rock?
is plastic a mineral? Plastic is certainly not a mineral. Minerals need to fit into certain categories - as below to define a mineral A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid, with a definite chemical composition, and an ordered atomic arrangement. This may seem a bit of a mouthful, but if you break it down it becomes simpler. * Minerals are naturally occurring They are not made by humans * Minerals are inorganic They have never been alive and are not made up from plants or animals * Minerals are solids They are not liquids (like water), or gases (like the air around you) * Minerals have a definite chemical composition Each one is made of a particular mix of chemical elements * Minerals have an ordered atomic arrangement The chemical elements that make up each mineral are arranged in a particular way - this is why minerals 'grow' as crystals So as plastic does not form naturally and do not have an ordered atomic arrangement and require oil to form with human intervention -PLASTIC can categorically not be a mineral. FACT!

Why is cubic zirconia not a mineral?

Not all minerals are solids, but those that make rock are usually solids at room temperature.

Why is diamond a mineral if it is composed of carbon and we define mineral as inorganic?
Some minerals are called elemental minerals. Among those are gold, silver, copper, and others. Carbon exists in a variety of allotropes, which are different forms of the same element. Diamond and graphite are both allotropes and minerals consisting entirely of the element carbon. To be a mineral, a substance needs to be inorganic, and carbon is a naturally occurring inorganic element, found on Earth long before life evolved.
