This is a List of minerals for which there are Wikipedia articles. A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition a highly ordered atomic structure and specific Mineral variety names and mineraloids are to be listed after the valid minerals for each letter. A mineraloid is a Mineral -like substance that does not demonstrate Crystallinity.

For a complete listing (about 4,000) of all mineral names: List of minerals (complete). It is currently not possible to have a "complete list of minerals".
