What Will I Learn?
Acquire hands-on expertise in mineral identification via crystal structure analysis. Master how symmetry dictates habit, cleavage, hardness, density, and optics. Utilise XRD, petrographic microscopy, and spectroscopy for accurate real-sample analysis. Follow streamlined workflows and decision trees for swift field-to-lab mineral identification.
Elevify Advantages
Develop Skills
- Master crystal optics by swiftly linking symmetry to colour, birefringence, and extinction.
- Perform practical XRD analysis: index peaks, refine unit cells, and validate mineral identities.
- Develop petrographic identification skills: confidently interpret texture, cleavage, and interference colours.
- Apply spectroscopy techniques using IR, Raman, and EPMA-EDS to confirm mineral structures.
- Design efficient metamorphic workflows for robust field-to-laboratory mineral identification routines.
