A mineral is a solid with a crystalline structure that is made by geological processes. Water and oxygen would not fit under that category because they do not have a crystalline structure, and made from the earth.

Teeth are made from calcium, a mineral, but teeth themselves are not made from the earth, they are made by body functions.
