What will I learn?

This course equips you with hands-on skills to identify minerals using crystal structure analysis. Explore how symmetry influences habit, cleavage, hardness, density, and optical properties. Master techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), petrographic microscopy, and spectroscopy for real sample analysis. Follow clear workflows and decision trees to efficiently progress from field collection to accurate mineral identification.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Crystal optics mastery: link symmetry to color, birefringence, and extinction fast.
  • Practical XRD for geologists: index peaks, refine cells, and confirm mineral IDs.
  • Petrographic ID skills: read texture, cleavage, and interference colors with confidence.
  • Applied spectroscopy: use IR, Raman, and EPMA-EDS to verify mineral structures.
  • Metamorphic workflow design: build lean, robust field-to-lab mineral ID routines.
