A mineral has a fixed chemical composition, and crystal format. Sometimes we may have two minerals with the same chemical formula - e.g. calcite and aragonite, but differ in crystallization.
Most rocks do but there are some exceptions. Coal (such as bituminous coal) is composed of organic material but is considered a sedimentary rock. Glassy rocks such as obsidian or pumice cool too quickly to contain crystals.
No it may contain various minerals. Bu the pill itself and the VITAMINS are NOT minerals you will find micrograms of the minerals in there if not nano.
Plants take in minerals through their roots.
Yes, minerals can crystalize when magma melts.
When you look at a rock and see different colors, those colors are minerals .The pressure and heat causes the minerals in the rock to change into different minerals which cause the different colors in the rocks.

Teeth are not considered minerals because they are organic and minerals are inorganic.
Teeth are not considered minerals because they are organic and minerals are inorganic.
Minerals are inorganic, but most are compounds, not elements.
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
Yes, kidney stones are considered minerals because they are formed from various minerals and salts that have accumulated in the kidneys and crystallized into solid masses. Common minerals found in kidney stones include calcium, oxalate, and uric acid.
Metamorphic is a group of rocks with similar characteristics. There are minerals in the rocks so they could be considered made of minerals but they are not minerals themselves.
Metals considered minerals are composed of one element. Those elements considered metallic have some shared properties in electrical conductivity and luster.
Its considered an ore when it contains enough of a useful substance that it can be sold for a profit.
The Savanna soil has very little minerals, it is considered to be infertile. The trace amounts of minerals found in the soil include iron and aluminum.
Yes, all minerals (including coal) are considered natural resources.
There are a number of properties which are considered to be a special property that applies to only a few minerals. Some of them include magnetism, optical and florescence properties.
