What is the difference between organic and inorganic minerals?

Solution

An inorganic mineral is a material that has never been alive; it has not been bonded with carbon, and it could never bring life to a cell. Organic minerals were once or are still alive, and their electrons (like those in a human body) spin in a clockwise direction. The cells in an organic mineral can form ionic bonds with the body, and they can break down to assist in bodily functions, including tissue repair.
