What will I learn?
This Mineralogy Course equips you with practical skills to confidently identify minerals in light-coloured intrusive rocks right in the field. Learn to use hand lenses, simple tests, and decision workflows, then connect mineral chemistry, textures, and modal proportions to rock classification and petrogenesis. You also practise professional reporting, documentation, safety, and evaluate engineering and environmental impacts of mineral assemblages.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Field mineral ID workflow: apply fast, reliable tests on plutonic rocks.
- Classify intrusive rocks: use modal mineralogy, texture, and chemistry trends.
- Evaluate rock durability: link mineralogy to strength, weathering, and reactivity.
- Infer cooling history: read mineral assemblages, grain size, and crystal habits.
- Produce pro-grade reports: document samples, photos, and lab requests with rigor.
