Something that is not alive and has never been part of something alive is usually referred to as "inorganic". This can be a little confusing since "organic" is also used in the context of chemistry to refer to any chemistry involving carbon and all other chemistries are considered "inorganic". You have to consider the context of the usage to understand the parameters that apply to the terms.
