Jungite vs. Mineral — What's the Difference?

(mineral) An orthorhombic mineral containing calcium, hydrogen, iron, oxygen, phosphorus, and zinc.

In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds that occur only in living beings. However some minerals are often biogenic (such as calcite) or are organic compounds in the sense of chemistry (such as mellite).

A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness.

An element, such as gold or silver.

An organic derivative, such as coal or petroleum.

A substance, such as stone, sand, salt, or coal, that is extracted or obtained from the ground or water and used in economic activities.

A substance that is neither animal nor vegetable; inorganic matter.

An inorganic element, such as calcium, iron, potassium, sodium, or zinc, that is essential to the nutrition of humans, animals, and plants.

An ore.

Minerals Mineral water.

A soft drink.

(geology) Any naturally occurring inorganic material that has a (more or less) definite chemical composition and characteristic physical properties.

Any inorganic material (as distinguished from animal or vegetable).

(nutrition) Any inorganic element that is essential to nutrition; a dietary mineral.

(British) Mineral water.

A soft drink, particularly a single serve bottle or can.

Of, related to, or containing minerals

An inorganic species or substance occurring in nature, having a definite chemical composition and usually a distinct crystalline form. Rocks, except certain glassy igneous forms, are either simple minerals or aggregates of minerals.

A mine.

Anything which is neither animal nor vegetable, as in the most general classification of things into three kingdoms (animal, vegetable, and mineral).

Of or pertaining to minerals; consisting of a mineral or of minerals; as, a mineral substance.

Impregnated with minerals; as, mineral waters.

Solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition
