All minerals have four properties: 1. All minerals are naturally occurring 2. All minerals are inorganic (that means non-living) 3. A different chemical formula can be written for each mineral and that formula is constant for that mineral. ex. Galena is PbS- that is it has one lead atom (Pb) and one sulfur (S) atom in each molecule. 4. Most minerals have an unique crystalline shape given the right growing conditions (like in a cave). Compounds are substances that has two or

* Minerals are non-renewable resources because the amounts that exist are finite although most are very abundant. * Economically recoverable resources account for a tiny proportion of the total that exists. * The main limitations on mineral availability are the locations‚ chemical form and purity of the deposits‚ and the availability of technologies to exploit them. * Their exploitation is economically important but can cause environmental damage.
