Want this question answered?
Lead is the trace mineral that leads to lead poisoning....there has been no discernable "safe" level in the human body, a small amount of lead can cause complications.
Yes. Value can be affected, particularly in collector specimens and those used in jewelry. The trace elements could either lower or raise the value of a specimen, and definitely affect the color of many minerals.
The blue color of beryl, variety aquamarine, is due to trace amounts of iron. The mineral is sometimes heat treated to bring out a stronger color.
diamond is formed from carbon. Some diamonds include other trace minerals, but they are not necessary in the formation of diamond.
Rubies are made of corundum (aluminum oxide, Al2O3) with trace impurities that give them their color.
Potassium is the mineral involved in the regulation of glucose uptake.
Vitamin CVvitamin C is a vitamin, not a trace mineral.
Iodine; reason for iodized salt

A 'colourless' diamond is one with minimal amounts of any other mineral except carbon. Trace amounts of some minerals, and some formation abnormalities cause diamonds to be coloured.
major mineral
A macro mineral is needed in large quantities whereas trace elements are minerals required in small quantities
Because humans (and life in general) require a trace amount of it to survive.
No. Even fossil excrement, coprolite, is not a mineral.[Strictly a trace fossil, as it is an accessory of the animal.]
Yes it is a mineral. SiO2 in composition. Commonly it can be coloured by trace elements such as iron.
i honestly have no freakin idea.
