Element such as calcium or potassium (7)

I believe the answer is:

mineral

(Other definitions for mineral that I've seen before include "What drink is available in ground" , "Metal ore" , "Ore; soft drink" , "Substance that is (usually) inorganic" , "Substance needed for health; ore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
