Cyanide is not a substance in itself but refers to a radical -CN which attaches readily to elements such as potassium and sodium to form such compounds as potassium cyanide KCN, and sodium cyanide NaCN, both of which are extremely poisonous.
In any case, these compounds are known as salts and could be considered minerals whether or not they are naturally occurring.
