I was questioning the usage of "species" (not Bruce's accuracy, just why the scientific world would have chosen such a confusing term for a non-living thing) and came upon this useful site breaking down all the categories and subsets of mineral types. Yeah, it's a "4kids" site, but shut up. It's informative.

That's the type of website that will explain it best to lay people.
It taught me minerals can be rated by Cleavage. I wonder if there's a Chesty La Bauxite, or Mae Vermiculite?
