So what is a mineral What are the characteristics of all minerals Mineral Characteristics 1 A mineral occurs naturally 2 A mineral is solid 3 A mineral has a definite chemical composition. A homogenous, naturally occurring substance with definable internal structure is called mineral. .. Mode of occurrence of minerals:. (1) In igneous and metamorphic rocks: The smaller occurrences are called veins and the larger occurrences are called lodes. They are usually formed when minerals in liquid/molten and gaseous forms are forced upwards through cavities towards the earth’s surface. Examples: tin, copper, zinc, lead, etc.. Eccleston.
