Uses of Minerals-decorative colored sand
A mineral is a chemical compound which has a definite chemical composition, inorganic and solid in nature. It is a naturally occurring compound. It is inorganic and has an ordered internal structure. Mineralogy is the study of minerals. Gemstones like diamonds, emeralds and sapphires which are produced in industries are identical and hence are called man-made minerals. Minerals are those elements on the earth and in foods that our bodies need to develop and function normally.
