A native mineral is composed of atoms of a single element, like gold, copper, and silver. Most minerals are composed of two or more elements.
An example of a native mineral is elemental gold (Au) in its pure form without any combination with other elements.
No. The definition of a native mineral is described as, among other criterion, a natural occurring mineral consisting of a single element. Halite would not fit this definition as it is a mineral containing sodium and chloride.
The native elements mineral group consists of minerals that exist in pure elemental form, such as gold and silver, without combining with other elements. This sets it apart from all other mineral groups, which are made up of compounds formed by the combination of multiple elements.
A mineral is a substance that results from geologic processes, and is further defined as having a specific chemical composition and physical structure. It's not just a "mix" of stuff. A native mineral is a mineral that is found in a specified locality. If we consider quartz, the most abundant mineral on earth, it could be said to be native to just about anywhere. Hematite, the primary ore of iron, is found on earth (is native to earth), but is also native to Mars as well. The mineral has been found there at the Opportunity landing site. Minerals are "rocks" of a fairly specific nature, and native minerals are minerals from an area that has been defined.
Native elemental minerals.
Copper is an elementary substance - it has no mineral or any other materials in it.
An example of a native mineral is elemental gold (Au) in its pure form without any combination with other elements.
Mineral wealth and other raw materials.
false. it does not have to have materials from rock :)

Native elements are minerals made from just one metal element, such as native gold or native copper. These minerals are composed of a single type of atom and are relatively rare compared to other mineral types.
Hot fluid dissolves materials and adds other materials :)

Native elemental minerals.
Native Americans built their homes differently depending on the climate they lived in. The materials surrounding them and the way the tribe lived also played part in what style of home was built. In all there were five different styles of homes built.
A mineral is considered a native element when it consists of a single element in its pure form, with no other elements mixed in. Common examples include gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu). Native elements are relatively rare in the Earth's crust compared to other minerals.
