What will I learn?
This Mineralogy Course equips you with hands-on skills to identify minerals in light-coloured intrusive rocks confidently in the field. Master hand lenses, basic tests, and decision processes, then relate mineral chemistry, textures, and proportions to rock classification and formation. Additionally, develop professional reporting, documentation, safety practices, and assess engineering and environmental effects of mineral groups.
