Definition: Semimineral is a type of soil that is composed primarily of clay, sand, and silt. It typically has a hardness ranging from 1 to 3, making it quite hard, yet not too hard for human hands to handle without damage. Semiminerals are often found in the form of tiny crystals or particles, which can be used in jewelry-making, as they have a unique texture and appearance. Semimineral is also known as semimontana or semitransparent
