What do scientist use to study the crystal structure of mineral?
Scientists use X-ray diffraction to study the crystal structure of minerals. This method involves directing X-rays at a mineral sample and measuring the diffraction pattern produced, which can help determine the arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice of the mineral.
What is naturally occurring inorganic solid with a crystal structure and characteristic chemical composition?
That's a definition of "mineral". Minerals include lots of different things, from calcium to iron to quartz.
Do all minerals have have crystal structures?

What is a crystal mineral?
A crystal mineral is a solid composed of material extending in all spatial dimensions.
Is a Mineral a Crystal?
Yes, a crystal can be a mineral. Crystal, or crystaline refers to the arrangement of particular atoms or molecules of a mineral or element which generates a crystal lattice. Hence, crystal is a term which describes the effect of the arrangement of molecules of a mineral, element, etc.
Can crystal melt?
Yeah, you can melt anything if you get it hot enough. Be sure not to confuse the terms crystal and mineral. A crystal is made of a mineral, the fact that it is a crystal, simply means that it's atoms are arranged in a periodical and static way, in the crystal structure. This structure falls apart as soon as the mineral melts, so a molten mineral can not be called a crystal.
