Rozenite vs. Mineral

(mineral) An iron sulphide mineral with chemical formula FeSO4·4H2O.

Rozenite is a hydrous iron sulfate mineral, Fe2+SO4•4(H2O). It occurs as a secondary mineral, formed under low humidity at less than 21 °C (70 °F) as an alteration of copper-free melanterite, which is a post mine alteration product of pyrite or marcasite.

(geology) Any naturally occurring inorganic material that has a (more or less) definite chemical composition and characteristic physical properties.

Any inorganic material (as distinguished from animal or vegetable).

(nutrition) Any inorganic element that is essential to nutrition; a dietary mineral.

(British) Mineral water.

A soft drink, particularly a single serve bottle or can.

(obsolete) A mine or mineral deposit.

(obsolete) A poisonous or dangerous substance.

of, related to, or containing minerals

An inorganic species or substance occurring in nature, having a definite chemical composition and usually a distinct crystalline form. Rocks, except certain glassy igneous forms, are either simple minerals or aggregates of minerals.

A mine.

Anything which is neither animal nor vegetable, as in the most general classification of things into three kingdoms (animal, vegetable, and mineral).

Of or pertaining to minerals; consisting of a mineral or of minerals; as, a mineral substance.

Impregnated with minerals; as, mineral waters.

solid homogeneous inorganic substances occurring in nature having a definite chemical composition

relating to minerals;

Example: ‘mineral elements’; ‘mineral deposits’;

of or containing or derived from minerals;

Example: ‘a mineral deposit’; ‘mineral water’; ‘decaying vegetable matter’;

composed of matter other than plant or animal;

Example: ‘the inorganic mineral world’;

In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds that occur only in living beings. However some minerals are often biogenic (such as calcite) or are organic compounds in the sense of chemistry (such as mellite).
