Answer:

You did not provide us with the materials you need to be classified, but I hope this helps:

A mineral is a solid formation that occurs naturally in the earth while a rock is a solid combination of more than one mineral formations which is also occurring naturally. A mineral has a unique chemical composition and is necessarily defined by its crystalline structure and shape.

Examples of rocks include: sandstone, basalt, limestone, and slate

Examples of minerals include: cobalt, zinc, lithium, and gold
