    A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure and specific physical properties.

    Technically, ice is a mineral, but it is not commonly thought of as one.  Usually it is not naturally solid at room temperature.
