I always thought organic was carbon-based from a living organism, thus anything mineral would not be considered as such.
Further, I am amused by the ignorance of people who insist, "Oh, it must be safe (meaning non-toxic) because it's organic." Thus implying anything synthetic must be evil and avoided. Toxicity levels vary regardless of the source.
There are many flaws covered by the organic label/philosophy, but a good marketing plan works wonders.
