A mineral is defined as a compound having a fixed chemical composition ... Thus an element is not a mineral.
Water is not considered a mineral because it does not meet the requirement of having a solid crystalline structure. Ice does meet this criterion and therefore, it is considered a mineral.
A mixed mineral refers to a mineral that contains a combination of two or more different chemical compounds within its structure. These compounds may not be chemically bound but coexist within the same crystal lattice or structure. Mixed minerals often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to the combination of different mineral components.
If you have a collection of minerals you can store a radioactive mineral in a glass bottle.The alpha and beta radiations are retained by glass; the gamma rays from uranium having a low energy are also largely blocked .
Kerosene and mineral spirits are similar in that they are both petroleum-derived solvents commonly used for cleaning, thinning paints, and as fuel. However, they have different chemical compositions and properties, with mineral spirits generally having a higher volatility and better solvency for paints and coatings compared to kerosene.
Having colors like the rainbow; exhibiting a play of changeable colors; nacreous; prismatic; as, iridescent glass.
"Prismatic" refers to the quality of being prism-like or having multiple facets. It is often used to describe objects or shapes that reflect or refract light in various colors.

A rock having a cavity that is lined with crystals or mineral matter
Having a specific set of possible values
Mineral water can vary in pH, but it typically falls within the neutral to slightly alkaline range. The specific pH can depend on the mineral content of the water, with alkaline mineral waters having a higher pH compared to neutral mineral waters.
No, that is not possible.
Yes. Having a crystal structure is part of the definition of a mineral.
Mineral water without carbonation. The water having no bubbles is still. :)
It is uncommon, but possible.
Yes, it is possible.
