Amber isn't considered a true mineral because it is an organic substance derived from the fossilized resin of trees rather than a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. Unlike minerals, which have defined chemical formulas and orderly atomic arrangements, amber is amorphous and lacks a crystalline structure. Its organic origin and unique properties distinguish it from traditional minerals, placing it in a separate category within geological classifications.
