Not minerals

The following of the listed under the category "Organic minerals" are not minerals: Alginite (this is a maceral), Anthracite (this is a rock: type of coal), Asphaltite (this is a mineralOID), Bathvillite (a mineralOID), Bituminite (a maceral), Elaterite (a mineralOID), Grahamite (a mineralOID, and a bitumoid), Lamalginite (a maceral), Leonardite (a biochemogenic rock), Lignite (a rock), Raphide (this is a type of a crystal habit - not a mineral, not a rock, not a mineraloid, not a synthetic substance --> totally different category), Shungite (this is a rock), Telalginite (this is a maceral), and Xylit (not even a natural material). It is thus a mix of few totally different materials etc.
