Annotation -

The course is focused on the study of minerals structure, properties and occurence. Students will know general terms as mineralogy, petrology, geology and geochemistry. Next part is concentrated on crystalography - submission of minerals to crystalographical system, crystal symetry, real crystal. The lectures are going through chemical and physical properties of minerals from the point of view of their occurence, properties and possible use as mineral resources. The part of the course deals with the mineralogical system, the submission of minerals to mineralogical classes and the identification of important minerals available in industrial and technological applications.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

distinquish natural crystalline compounds and characterize their properties

determine basic crystalographic insertion and symetry of common minerals

estimate the origin of minerals, their stability and behaviour in natural systems based on their physical and chemical properties

insert common minerals to the mineralogical system
