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 link mineral chemistry, textures, and modal proportions to rock classification and petrogenesis. You also practise professional reporting, documentation, safety, and assess engineering and environmental impacts of mineral assemblages.
