Both are NOT
Sugar is not a mineral, and technically gold is an element.
The crystalline nature of salt makes it more resistant to crushing forces. Sugar's crystalline structure is not as compact or cubical as salt.
Table salt is the mineral halite.
I assume you mean to distinguish between sugar and salt by means of a chemical test, in which case: Since sugar is an organic compound, it will be soluble in organic solvents (such as mineral oil, butyl alcohol, acetone, etc), whilst the salt should not dissolve. You can then filter the salt from the liquid solution, before using evaporation to recondense the crystalline sugar. If you want the sugar to remain edible, I would recommend the mineral oil option. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) should work in theory, however in practice, it is often available mixed with water, which will also readily dissolve the salt.
The mineral halite (table salt) meets all the requirements for being defined as a mineral in that it is naturally occurring, a solid, has a chemical formula, has a crystalline structure, and is inorganic.
Salt is a mineral. Sugar is an organic compound (carbohydrate).
Sugar is not a mineral, and technically gold is an element.
Sugar
No. It is a carbohydrate. Salt would be an example of a mineral.

Salt is a mineral....i think
oil, water, gold, salt, sugar, zinc, cotton. coffee, grain.
Halite is a mineral and is most often referred to as rock salt. Rock salt is used in the preservation and preparation of certain foods.

The Aztecs used obsidian, a volcanic glass, to craft weapons, tools, and decorative items. They would mine the raw obsidian from deposits, shape it using specialized techniques, and then create finished products like blades, mirrors, and masks through polishing and crafting methods. This skilled craftsmanship of transforming obsidian into various useful and aesthetic objects played a significant role in Aztec society.
