A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties. Common minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, amphibole, olivine, and calcite. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals, or a body of undifferentiated mineral matter.

Of course, mineral nomenclature is also not independent of other areas of the Earth Sciences, particularly petrology, and both (1) frequency and period of use, and (2) use in rock nomenclature in conjunction with a historical lack of mineral-naming principles, prevent the retrospective alteration of names to a completely consistent scheme.
In the chapters that follow, you will find first principles that govern various unit operations in mineral processing and hydrometallurgy, along with examples to illustrate how fundamental principles can be used in real-world applications.
