Actually not capable of a precise answer. One thinks of coal and ironsand, but neither falls within the definition of a mineral.

[Which defined as "a naturally occurring homogeneous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement".]

But useful natural substances would include coal, iron sand, gold ore, metal ores, and perhaps (in common language) even water.
