JEO 419 - Applied Mineralogy

Course Objectives

The aim of the course; to understand origin and evaluation of the different kind of minerals and their physical and chemical features. The main goal of this course is identify of different kind of minerals by using their physical properties. Simple tests and practice on the hand sample is also very common method for identify the different minerals.
