Default Minerals

I have very primitive question. Whats minerals?? Does the term minerals equal to the term inorganic compounds? Does it involve every state(gasseous, liquid..) or only solid of that compounds? I wonder if H2O or CO2 can be said to be mineral (maybe only when theyre solid yeah? )
So stop laughing and start explaining. Im anxious to know how many of you chemists can explain such a primitive question.
