Learning outcomes
The course, targeting junior students of geosciences, presents fundamentals of general and systematic mineralogy. In the part devoted to the general mineralogy, the principal goal is to describe basic physical and chemical properties of minerals and their link with crystal structure. Further, selected experimental methods used in study of minerals are presented. Part dedicated to systematic mineralogy gives brief information on selected important minerals, their occurrence, origin and links to other minerals in some cases. Economic potential of some minerals and other applications of mineralogy are mentioned briefly.
