1. Naturally Occurring: Minerals are formed through natural geological processes, not in a lab or factory.
2. Solid: Minerals are always solid at room temperature. This excludes substances like water or oil, which are liquids.
3. Inorganic: Minerals are not derived from living organisms. This means they are not made from organic materials like wood, bone, or shells.
