No, indeed the contrary. A mineral is defined as a "naturally occurring, homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement." So, a material such as tungsten carbide which is only man-made (as far as I know), would not be classified as a mineral.
It would be a mineral it would no longer be soil!!lol ha ha i got to ansower this
I would assume it would be igneous due to the massive amounts of magma in the earth's crust.
The rock would have visible mineral crystals--a phaneritic texture.
Tanzanite is the rarest and semi-precious gemstone. Semi-precious stones are those that are mined from natural deposits and are less valuable than precious stones. Precious stones are mined from mines and are highly valued. So if you are planning to buy natural & real tanzanite stone then you can select from GemsNY, where you can find handcrafted & certified tanzanite as per your requirement.
Mineral deposits are found in all kinds of environments, it would depend on the mineral which specific area or environment it would be found
detection of mineral deposits
That would be referred to as a vein, or if a valuable mineral, an ore vein.
It sounds like you are describing efflorescence or a mineral deposit. It would be easier if you send a photo. If it is at the water line it's most likely calcium deposits. If it's at the edge of the pool it's most likely due to water seeping out. (efflorescence)
Limestone, mainly calcite, would be one mineral assembly that forms massive deposits. Diatomaceous earth , the silica shells of minute creatures is another. Iron oxides; some formed as a result of the discovery of photosynthesis by algae; forms huge banded iron deposits of great commercial consequence.
Placer deposits.
Most likely you would be testing to see if the mineral was harder or softer than the nail.
which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur
mountain ranges
All of the above. Mineral deposits form on all piping and water appliances.
Mineral deposits hundreds of meters thick resulted as salt would form at the bottom of a pan of evaporated sea water.
deposits for utility services
