These themophiles would be classified as archeabacteria. These bacteria inhabit extreme living conditions such as high heat and high pressure.

Scratching a mineral with a nail is a test of hardness. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest), with talc being the softest and diamond being the hardest. If a mineral can be scratched by a nail (with a hardness of around 2.5), it would be classified as having a hardness lower than 2.5 on the Mohs scale.
Zircon is a mineral that starts with the letter "Z". It is a silicate mineral commonly used in jewelry as a gemstone.

Magnetite is classified as a mineral, not a rock.
Pantothenic acid is classified as a vitamin, not a mineral.
Talc is classified as a phyllosilicate mineral.
A mineral is generally classified as an ore, if its locallized concentration far exceeds its crustal abundance.

A fossil is not a mineral.
Talc belongs to the mineral group known as silicates.
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
The opposite of a mineral would be a non-mineral or a substance that is not classified as a mineral, such as organic matter or man-made materials.
