What will I learn?
This Mineralogy Course equips you with practical skills to identify minerals confidently in light-coloured intrusive rocks right in the field. Master hand lenses, simple tests, and decision workflows, then link mineral chemistry, textures, and proportions to rock classification and formation processes. Practice professional reporting, documentation, safety protocols, and assess engineering and environmental impacts of mineral groups.
Elevify advantages
