1 Minerals Are Solid: substances that don't droop or melt or evaporate. 2  Minerals Are Inorganic: substances that aren't carbon compounds like those found in living things. 3  Minerals Are Crystalline: substances that have a distinct recipe and arrangement of atoms.rganic Minerals. The rule that minerals must be inorganic may be the strictest one. The substances that make up coal, for instance, are different kinds of hydrocarbon compounds derived from cell walls, wood, pollen and so on. These are called macerals instead of minerals (for more see Coal in a Nutshell).
