The mineral is likely calcite, which is colorless and effervesces when exposed to acid due to its high calcium carbonate content. Calcite is commonly used in cement and lime production due to its presence of calcium, an essential component in these materials.
The mineral you are referring to is most likely calcite. Calcite reacts vigorously with acid, often forming bubbles. It is commonly used in the production of cement and lime due to its abundance and ability to influence the properties of these materials.
The substance described is hydrochloric acid, a colorless liquid that produces bubbles when it reacts with certain materials such as cement and lime. It is commonly used in construction and industrial processes for cleaning and etching surfaces.
The white colorless mineral often tinted with impurities is quartz. Quartz is a common mineral in the Earth's crust and can be found in various colors depending on the impurities present, but its purest form is colorless.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) , which goes by the mineral names of marble, limestone, or chalk. The reaction scheme is Hydrochloric Acid + Calcium Carbonate forms Calcium chloride , water and carbon dioxide ( which effervesces (bubbles)). The reaction equation is 2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) = CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
In mineralogy terms, no. A mineral is naturally occurring, homogenous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement. Most of the terms in that definition do not apply to glycerine.But, Mineral is often applied to oils and their derivatives to indicate that they are not from a natural source. Mineral turpentine, mineral oil, and so on, to distinguish them from their natural cohort.

A spherical rock is called a concretion. Concretions form when mineral cement accumulates around a nucleus, often a small piece of organic material or mineral fragment, creating a spherical shape.

Halite is the mineral form of sodium chloride, commonly known as rock salt. It is typically colorless or white but can sometimes appear in shades of blue, purple, pink, or yellow. Halite is often used for seasoning food, melting ice on roads, and in some industrial processes.
Portland cement (often referred to as OPC, from Ordinary Portland Cement) fineness 300 - 500 m2/kg
The mineral you are describing is likely halite, which is commonly known as rock salt. Halite is colorless, forms cubic crystals, has a dull luster, and a hardness of 2.5 on the Mohs scale, which is softer than fluorite. Its characteristic cubic cleavage and lack of luster are key identifying features.

Cement is what binds the siliclastic framework grains together. Cement is a secondary mineral that forms after deposition and during burial of the sandstone. These cementing materials may be either silicate minerals or non-silicate minerals, such as calcite.Silica cement can consist of either quartz or opal minerals. Quartz is the most common silicate mineral that acts as cement. In sandstone where there is silica cement present the quartz grains are attached to cement, this creates a rim around the quartz grain called overgrowth. The overgrowth retains the same crystallographic continuity of quartz framework grain that is being cemented. Opal cement is found in sandstones that are rich in volcanogenic materials, and very rarely is in other sandstones.Calcite cement is the most common carbonate cement. Calcite cement is an assortment of smaller calcite crystals. The cement adheres itself to the framework grains, this adhesion is what causes the framework grains to be adhered together.Other minerals that act as cements include: hematite, limonite, feldpsars, anhydrite, gypsum, barite, clay minerals, and zeolite minerals.
