What will I learn?
This Mineralogy and Crystallography Course gives you practical skills to identify minerals confidently using structure-based methods. Learn how crystal symmetry controls habit, cleavage, hardness, density, and optical behavior, then apply XRD, petrographic microscopy, and spectroscopy to solve real samples. Clear workflows, decision trees, and best practices help you move quickly from field sample to reliable mineral ID.
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.
