A Minerals A Pure Substance And A Rock Is A Mixture Of Two Or More Minerals In Various Proportions.

For Instance Rock Granite Is Made Up Of Three Minerals: Quartz Feldspar and Biotite. (mica)

A Mineral is an chemical compound with an constant chemical composition which of course is the definition of a "Pure Substance"
