What is a solid formed in nature with a definite chemical makeup and crystal structure?

It is not obvious from your question whether you are asking for a term which describes solid materials having a definite chemical makeup - which would be a chemical or a substance, although those terms would apply equally well to liquid or gas materials having a definite chemical makeup - or whether you are asking for examples, which would include such things as ice, marble, table salt, steel, copper, etc.

How does ionic bonding help explain the structure called crystal lattice?
An ionic bond can be defined as a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Crystal structure can be defined as a unique arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystalline liquid or solids,
Substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportion?
A compoundcompound
What is the substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportion?
The substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements is a compound.
What is always a characteristic of a chemical change but not always a characteristic of a physical change?
When a chemical change takes place, the chemical structure of particles involved changes (i.e. one or more new substances are formed). In a physical change, the physical state of the particles involved changes (e.g. a solid melts and becomes a liquid). The chemical structure of the particles does not change, and no new substance is formed.
What does the shape of the crystal tell us about its internal structure?
So we know how it is created, how long it takes to create it, and as a means of classification.

How is mineral formed?
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances having a definite chemical make-up and are usually crystalline in structure. They are formed by geological processes.

Is a mineral a nonliving substance formed in nature yes or no?
A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a crystalline structure and a definite range of chemical formulas.
Why is gold not called as gemstones. They are rare and durable and beautiful and have a definite crystal structure and are formed by geological processes. So why are they not called gems?
Because it is a metal. Check your periodic table.
What is a minaral?
Any naturally occuring solid with a definite crystal structure and chemical composition. Some may also say it needs to be inorganic but this is less strict as many rocks (such as carbonates) are usually formed from organic processes.
