inorganic - not formed by organic chemistry (e.g., sugars, etc.)
homogeneous solid - single substance in solid phase which cannot be physically separated into simpler compounds
definite chemical composition - composition can be represented as chemical formula (e.g., NaCl), although variation in exact composition is possible (e.g., (Mg, Fe)2SiO4 ) [range in color, hardness, specific gravity]
ordered atomic arrangement – repeating structure at the atomic level, which expresses as symmetry in large specimens, i.e., crystalline structure.
