	Opal
		Opal is considered a mineraloid and has no crystal structure.
		Opal usually is formed as a mineraloid gel that is created at very low temperatures.
		This mineraloid gel is usually created at temperatures less than 200 degrees Celsius and can occur in fissures of many types of rock.

		Pearls, considered by some to be a mineral because of the presence of calcium carbonate crystals within their structure, would be better considered a mineraloid because the crystals are bonded by an organic material and there is no definite proportion of the components.
		Pearl, often considered a mineral due to crystal components, but then not a mineral due to organic origin, probably should be a mineraloid.
